5512 Real / fake or?

Hi,

First time posting on this forum. hope all is kind.

Im interested in purchasing a 5512.

However, i am concerned about the light patina on the dial and hands.

Also the word Submariner above the feet / metre?

If anyone can enlighten me would be much appreciated.

thanks

Case is from the 60s, if in fact genuine, dial is from the 70s, and the hands look
like luminova replacements. FrankenSub IMO at best.

I suggest a good interior/movement inspection.
More, ask to the seller to make a photo w/o bracelet...
