Sub 1680 Value
Hi all, what would you rate the value of this 1680? Second owner has had it for the last 25 years, and changed nothing since he’s had it. Looks like the dial might have been changed at some point since it doesn’t match the patina on the hands? No box/papers, watch only. Thanks!!

Looks like a luminova service dial to me.

It looks like a tritium service dial to me, photos are grainy so hard to say.

Looks like an original mark 1 dial to me. Not sure about the hands. That yellowy colour doesn't look very natural.

The lume on the hands is very sketchy IMO

I suspect that the same issue here as what I believe happened to my 1680 (that I foolishly parted with). The lume on the dial may have been breaking down and at some point a watchmaker "cleaned" the dial of the dusty lume residue and kept the original hands. The plots resulted in showing mostly paint with slight remaining lume remnants and they contrast the nice patina of the hands. I thinks it's all original.
