I think someone could have tried a little harder to match the hands to the dial... deal breaker for me.

1.8m serial. Yeah, the hands seem a shape or two lighter. Anything else I should be aware of?

Well, I bought it (knowing hands appear to be replacements). I'll post some of my own pics when it arrives.

Well if you have already bought it just enjoy it. This meters first dial is correct for a 1.8m serial

Thanks. I couldn't wait for more feedback as it was an auction ending. I (think) it was a fair price. To me, the pearl and hands were newer replacements but I'm still interested in seeing others observations to help me learn for future purchases.
