Based on the pics provided, this dial's matte finish and lume appear correct. Based on appearance alone and without aid of uv light, I'm very certain the hands are relumed. Learning to spot restoration work is becoming trickier since the work is higher quality these days. That said, there really is no substitute for experience of ownership and having a trusted resource with experience to examine in hand. Lume and dial characteristics vary by era, as gilt and matte have different dial surface, appearance and lume aspects to evaluate and the lume composition, shape and texture itself changed during both gilt and matte periods. It takes an in depth assessment and knowledge of what was correct by year to increase certainty of opinion on a given example.
