Legit check- 1016 Explorer from 1967
Hi, hoping to get some help. Any standout flaws from the dial? Not a vintage expert.

The 3-6-9 look similar to what I have seen in the past. There are a lot of threads on this topic you may need to dig through the forum.

Gotta disagree. There’s a certain ‘66/‘67 lume batch that will glow briefly. I’ve had three watches from that period, and all three glowed for a bit.

Looks good to my untrained eye.
The only thing that looks a little unfamiliar is the size of the lume dot on the second hand, it looks quite large.

Yeah it looks ok to me too. The puffing of the lume is a new one to me, but it seems legit.
