Hi, I posted this in another forum but they don't seem to be very active there. I just want an honest opinion of this 1675 gilt that was offered to me. Consensus seem to dictate that it's lume is redone.

You be the judge. So, is it?

it's a 1.3m serial and it glows in the dark for a second before the light dies. some say that this is correct during this period (1965 - 1967?).

for the sake of increasing knowledge, i hope the experts will chime in.

CHEERS!

I'm no expert but to me it seems relumed.

CharlieMae · 16 March 2015, 12:42 AM

100% relumed

lhanddds · 16 March 2015, 12:45 AM

Nice watch, shame it appears relumed.

Vincent65 · 16 March 2015, 12:53 AM

I think so, yes.

MitchSteel · 16 March 2015, 12:54 AM

I'm afraid it has been relumed

AS1 · 16 March 2015, 01:18 AM

no doubt about it.

greekbum · 16 March 2015, 03:47 AM

its been relumed

g-boac · 16 March 2015, 05:19 AM

Wow. This would have been a nice piece, if not for the relume job. Shame. But keep looking! You'll find one out there!!

Agree with above. It's helps if you know what the lume on a particular watch from a particular time period looks like.

john11f · 16 March 2015, 08:41 AM

Thanks a lot for all your help!

Hands and dial are redone.

An ignorant question here to all that said the markers are re-lumed...
What made you say it is re-lumed? What are the tell-tale signs as compared to an original dial of the same period?

Thanks in advance to any and all replies. Cheers!

I reckon its because GMT's of that time period and the ones that had that dial have flat lume markers and not the thicker ones that are found in earlier gilt gmt's. Thats my take on it
I have a gmt that has flat markers, thats the biggest giveaway

Hopefully i'm right
