Amazing video and even better find.
I'm glad you are wearing it and did not flip it.
Enjoy

I relumed the dot on the second hand with a combination of several different colors of dyes to try to match the other hands. The minute and hour hands I coated with a clear lume on the back of the existing original lume to prevent the cracked lume from falling out and to preserve the authenticity of the vintage time piece.

Cool, so all else was original (dial?). What an amazingly great find at that price....
