Recently came off my bench

So I had an opportunity to pick up this beauty from the far east a while back and it was sitting around in the watch box for a bit. But a few weeks back I finally got around to giving it an overhaul and boy did it come out looking good. In my years of buying/selling/trading/and servicing watches I have yet to come across such beautifully preserved lume on such a good looking dial. Thought I'd share this eye candy with a few others that would appreciate it.

Very nice. The lume colour is quite striking against that dial.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not a fan of the engine-turned bezels, though. The dial, lume & bracelet look excellent.

Thank you all. This was a rare bird. Would've liked to have kept it for myself, but I guess you can't keep them all ... or can you?

It must have been hard parting with that.

That is just about the nicest DJ i have seen of late.

For me, the simple batton (plain, doorstep and wide boy) with Grey, Cappuccino and Silver dials are thequinesentail DJ's (and by a quirk of happenstance coincidence, are the cheapest too , when compared to pricier exotic diamond/boiler/ stella/ wood /lapis/textured/linen/shantung/pinstripe etc etc ).... which is nice
