Hello guys,

Can anyone tell me if this 'Ed White' is completely original, and what value it has today?
Thanks in advance

What do you think it’s worth? What issues about originality or condition do you have?

The guy is asking 9.5k Eur (11k $). The 'Wobbly lumes', maybe the dial has been relumed?

These naturally have wobbly lume. That lume on the one you show is very grey and fungal, I can't see anyone deliberately making it look like that so I reckon it is fully original. The lume and dial condition may show evidence of water damage so I would want to look closely at the movement condition.

Thanks. Well, this is a pic from the movement.

Looks ok but none of the photos are fantastic.

Agree with @padders no one is doing a sympathetic relume in that shade of mouldy dirt.

Other than being original, the only possibility is it’s been crudely relumed with the intention of actually restoring lume function using greenish compound. Very unlikely though.

When deciding upon a price please bear in mind this is a very average example and price should reflect that.

Thanks for the information! So, 6-9k$?

Overpolished case.
Dark greenish index.
Strange crown (to be confirmed...)
Are you sure it's a bargain?...

I think it's the picture ( overpolished').... What do you mean 'strange crown'?
No not saying it's a bargain. The guy wants 9.5K Eur, which is too much.

This view is strange to my eyes. But I'm probably wrong.

Concerning the case I don't see any facet at all, even not a beginning of a shadow of a facet... which makes me confirm "overpolished".
