It is a nice one, but hour hand has a different patina from the minutes and GMT ones.
I think it has a mixed handset.
I like the dial patina, very nice.
The glass looks genuine to me, just a bit polished.

Thanks!

Yeah sadly the hour hand is different...

I got a new handset/dial incoming just because I wanted to get a matching set.
Will definitely keep the original dial though. Rarely see sulfide dials nowadays....

Looks like a real nice watch, that Fuchsia insert pulls it all together.

Wear it in good health.
