    FE0C7A33-689A-4C6C-B794-D02639C1401C.jpeg @hoipolloi thanks for your feedback.

    I haven’t perfect pics yet, but I’m pretty confident that the index is the good one.

    One of the “weird” one is the 9 index, that you can see here.
    If it has been filled with something else, such a good job done…
    Could it be a deal breaker to you?

    You are right. He couldn't find the right one then replaced with one of these.

    I don't know how much he asks for. Is the second hand original or generic?

    I don’t know about the second hand… does it seems different from original to you?

    Regarding the Onyx, I understand it could fall from the index, but is it possible to replace it by something else? I’m pretty confident it is factory original, because it has the same shape than other, only a different color.

    Looking for other exemple of this watch, I’ve found this one.
    If you zoom on the 1h index, you will see the exact same brownish transparency.

    I’m now 99,9% sure that onyx index is factory original :)

    I spent some time yesterday looking with no success, so well done - its unusual but authentic. FWIW, I think it's an attractive feature.

    @Gui13250 : please make it remove to where it is sold :) I've seen this one coming from my weekend and doing my regular check and got very tempted... up to the point I realized this was the watch you were talking about here in OF (it rarely happens from this source). It is a nice one really and seems somehow fairly priced for a gold connie, & serviced !
    Edit : I will call DIBS to you after that :)

    And here it is!
    A really nice watch to wear, even if I though gold watch weren’t for me!

    Ten, left twelve, one and 4 index are indeed brownish / translucent, but even with a micro, I don’t see any sign of swapping, no any difference in size with others… I can’t imagine someone doing such a quality work for replacing it, so pretty sure it is all original
