Looks like a nice watch Lee.
I guess price will be the determining factor.

Perhaps a few more pictures from the edge of the dial (chipped?) can clear things up?

I tried very hard to look closer, but I can't be 100% sure from the picture

Looks like there may be several service parts on there from what I can see:

Hands (no corrosion at all), bezel (No scratches, dings or re-polish that I can tell), crown (really sharp) & bezel insert... Dial is almost going brown and the insert looks that prestine?

Still a very nice looking watch, but if you want all original that's not it in my opinion.

Price is the reall factor: are you getting a deal or not?

I think I saw this one on eBay. If it's the same one, the seller claims that it has been relumed...
