Does this appear to have been relumed?
I love this watch, relumed or not, but out of curiousity, does the dial on my 5513 appear to have been relumed at some point? Thanks!

You must be radioactive then hehehe =]
Or sunlight hit on the dial giving a sense that the watch had been relumed. Typically, the florescence material dies out in 7-10 years... You can always change the dial; approximate 1k-2k depends on model |

no I dont think so, the state of the lume seems consistent with the period of the watch.
