Any thoughts guys?? Sold it and the buyer says it's been relumed, I thought it looked fine but I could be wrong.

Let me know!

1.6 million serial? Looks like dial is not re-lumed to me and should glow bright when charged near a light. Is it a lime green color outside?

1.4mil, watch did glow faintly when exposed to bright lights...lume had a green hue when in certain lighting.

I have had lots of these early ones and they look like what you have and they were a bit puffy , lime green and glowed for a bit. Do the hands have the same glow? If so they are most likely the original ones to the watch. 5512-5513 of this era are similar. I actually prefer these dials as they still glow bright.

Yes, the hands glowed faintly. I owned a 5513 Matte 1.4mil and the hands and lume glowed too

Nikos said it all

(and a lot more than I could have contributed with

)

It doesn't appear redone, but if so it was amazingly done!

My 1.3 Gilt GMT still glows very faintly for a short time when exposed to bright light.

looks good to me (BTW, my 1.4mil 1675 gilt still glows, and she has puffy plots!)

Puffy · 5 February 2013, 01:24 AM

I'm puffy and those puffy lume plots look sweet to me!

watchcrank · 5 February 2013, 01:31 AM

most will glow after exposed to light for some time but not brightly and not white but green. As Greekbum says :-) M

I remember seeing your watch for sale, a very nice example.

Maybe the new owner is having buyer's remourse. That would be his loss.

Hope all is worked out.
