Respect for older generation
With respect for the older generation: Here´s my 76 years old Rolex Oyster Royalite. Still telling correct time :)

That’s a lovely looking piece. Are the hands original or correct?

Looks like original Crystal with radium cracking on it.

I don´t know. I bought the watch from a retired watchmaker some years ago.

Beautiful patina, a really nice collectable. And it still works - That is true Rolex quality.

Hands are correct. The crazing of the crystal is typical of age and not really anything to do with radium or no. It might be a factor but they do that without radium as well.
