Here is a link to a very similar 135.004-63 RM that @abrod520 sold 3 years ago. Also caliber 286, 20474xxx movement number, same handset, with extract.

I think the OP example is fairly legit. Most 63’s have tritium lume even thought TT (or sometimes a single T) are not always present. The dial has the proper layout and recessed lume wells. I’d be concerned about the hands and dial being relumed as the lume is very uniform in color and bright. Also the lack of a pic of the mag cover needs to be addressed.
Looks like a very nice and well preserved, original example. The "SWISS MADE" being cut off is as it should be, so the rehaut / tension ring is correct.
The price is not a bargain, though.

Others will chime in...
The hands are a different color from the dial lume.
Is it me or is the lume a little sloppy? I’d love to see a UV shot and macro of lume plots.
Could all be kosher...I’ve never owned one, so don’t have my weight here.
