·Hello friends, sorry for the bother with another vetting thread, but I recognize that I'm totally out of my zone when it comes to these models. I took some time reviewing past threads (especially this great mini guide LINK) and this watch seems to pass an initial vibe check. Unfortunately, I don't have any movement photos, but will try and request some depending on your thoughts.
It is clearly missing the lume pip and generally seems worn. Does everything check out and does this look like an "honest" original? How hard are the lume pips to replace? Lastly, what would you say this is worth? I had some trouble finding similar comps. A few years ago, these seemed rather easy to find sub $1k but the prices seem to keep climbing. I'd rather not miss the boat and get one while I can, but I definitely want to avoid overpaying and buying a fake/franken. I appreciate any advice or insight you can provide! Thanks!
