Re: Difference in Colors Between the Hands

okay i can see that thanks

: 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).
