So, was it relumed or not?
It looks original to me...

Amazing video and even better find.
I'm glad you are wearing it and did not flip it. Enjoy

I relumed the dot on the second hand with a combination of several different colors of dyes to try to match the other hands. The minute and hour hands I coated with a clear lume on the back of the existing original lume to prevent the cracked lume from falling out and to preserve the authenticity of the vintage time piece.
