Opinions on this Gilt 1675 dial and hands.

Hi, I am in the market for original gilt dial and hands. It would be much appreciated if you guys could give your opinion on this listing. Thank you! The watch is a 1966 1,4 million serial number 1675.

Thanks,
Fran

I’d ask for macros of the lume on both the hands and the dial. :)

Looks ok from the poor quality pictures. As roh123 stated you really want macros.

Dial foot at 6 o’clock looks bent by about 45 degrees, proceed with caution if it is, they snap very easily when trying to straighten them back upright.

Here are pictures you asked for. Thanks. The back of the dial also has a "Singer" stamped with the logo.

I’d expect that to be redone. Sorry. Lume application is not how it usually looks on a mid 60’s gilt.

Price is still attractive. An untouched gilt dial and hands would be much more in good condition.

Thank you, got it for about 3k less (euro), it all looks good to me although I agree with your observations.

Thank you for you answer.
