Thinking about purchasing this watch as I love the textured dials but I am bit scared with the black ones .

Let me know your thoughts please.

 

Over polished and pitted case, incorrect crown, should have lumed hands since the figures have lume, photos of the dial aren't really clear enough. Even if the dial is original It'd be a pass for me.

 

That mark on the dial looks very familiar - I think this was sold by a dealer I know just last year. I was interested in it myself back then but the mark put me off. All I can tell you is that, if it is the same watch, it came fresh to market through an estate clearance in Europe.

 

Are you sure there is lume on that dial? Seems like the arrowhead markers' bases are hollow, not filled.
The dial looks good to me. But the case condition is pretty bad, and the caseback looks to be fresh from a trip to the lathe.

I think the price is pretty attractive, to be honest. Someone is going to buy it, for sure, perhaps to transplant the dial and movement into a donor case...

 

Agree completely.

 

My eyes see a notch with or for lume at the ends of the daggers, not a straight across bevel one would expect with a no lume daggers.

2577 below I know is original.

 

Good point. I thought that they also came without lume. I was browsing through the "Honeycomb/textured Dial" as you replied and kept an eye out for the same combination. Only found one, Superdoc's example.
