Came upon this....Photos are not the best, but would appreciate thoughts. Have been after a no date 94010 for awhile, but on this one, the crisp lume is a bit of eyebrow raising factor as is the "buffing" above the serial. What else do you all see as of concern? TIA!

That's not buffing above the serial number, it's bracelet wear from the end-links.
Insert is also not original.

Case has been polished a few times.

All depends what you're looking for, and your budget/the asking price.

That dial looks at least relumed. Not a fine example but if it is cheap and under market... If you are OK with paying market rates - keep looking as there are much better around. The popular 9410 is the snowflake hands and dial

That watch is a turd. The price is also laughable. Vincent hit all the high notes.

What is the price?

It's been used. Needs a service. It is possible that it's a service dial that is lumed in luminova as I've owned tritium marked 9411's with service dials with super luminova that was a bit squigly but this could also be a relume. Hard to tell. Really depends on what you think it's worth but the seller saying "all original" is a line of BS based on the above, service insert and no service.

In short, I would pass.

It was a bin over $2k a couple of months ago. Now it's listed at no reserve.

The dial has obviously been relumed. If you can't see that you don't know
What you're looking for. The watch has been poorly polished, insert is wrong,
And the hands are bunk too.

What else need be said? Possible service dial? Absolutely not.

I love the old Tudors. Subjectively, just looking at the poor thing, it's not very attractive. Hold out for true love!

Decided to hold off as my original request for better pic went ignored, and the info here had been most helpful.

Will remain on the hunt for a non snowflake no date. Thanks all for the replies.
