With that glow I would say it’s all service parts...or possibly all relumed...

He told me it has been replaced, but it shows tswiss in the dial and seems to have a little patina.

 But seriously, if you already know that the dial, hands, and bezel are service parts, what did you want to know exactly? The photos really don't show the condition of the case. If it's value, you can take about 40%-50% off the price of a good fully original example.

you have a mixture of things going on there.. The dial is relumed, as service luminova does not patina.. I can tell by the bright lume shot, it's faux patina relume.
You are chasing after one of the more difficult references to find in nice original condition. This one is a hard pass for me. |

The dial faded to blue? It looks so good like this.
