Difference in Colors Between the Hands
In Response To: Re: Hour and minute hand has different wearing(it seems) ()

The "issue" with the one listed on ebay seems to be that the lume on the two main hands is different shades -- one lighter and one darker. And the dots on the dial are the darker shade.

This suggests that the minute hand has been replaced or perhaps relumed; still a nice looking watch (in my opinion), but this can make a big difference in the value, to the keen collector (who will only pay the big bucks for the "all-original" sample, with the matching lume all around -- 2 hands and 12 dots).
