Loupe
 on lume : relumed?
Hi,
I know there are experts out there, you already helped me purchase this very nice 1675/8, serial 4.189.xxx, ca 1976.  I have been told the lume on this watch is original, but I would like to have your opinion on whether the hands/dial had been relumed, or not? Below is a link with high-res, pictures, taken with a X8 and X16 loupe:  : https://photos.app.goo.gl/EtNh9f1EAJ4PbAFB8Thank you very much for your advice on relumed-or-not-relumed. Many thanks, M. |

UV shots could also be helpful.

Looks good to me - short of inspecting in hand - I have had similar nipple dials look the same.

The tritium under UV is reacting the way I'd expect on original lume, and it appears to be consistent on dials/hands. Nice-looking GMT. Not sure I've seen a date wheel like that. Is it Arabic?
FYI, a 4.1 million serial would put the watch closer to 1974, I believe, not '76. |

Yes the date wheel is in Arabic. Regarding the serial, I have been mis-lead by the results given by this website (#1 result in Google for « rolex serial number ») : https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-serial-numbers Searching my serial number (4189xxx) on it says it’s 1976. But indeed, almost all websites give 1974 as production date. Thanks for pointing this out @swissh77 ! |
