1601 Originality/Authenticity Check Please : )

Good morning!

I hope everyone is doing well. I have been looking for another 1601 for a couple weeks now and I came across this. It doesnt look too bad and I don't see that big crown clasp too often on the older 2tone jubilees. The only thing that looks a little off is the dial. Its hard to tell but from the pictures but it looks like the dial may have been resprayed and lume plots look too white to me. Let me know what you guys think and if you see any other issues with thw watch that throw red flags. I like buy pieces that are 100% original for a few reasons. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Hope everyone has a good day!



Thanks Shane

Thank you very much David for taking the time to look at that for me, it's much appreciated. I knew the lume didn't look quite right but now the band and the tswisst turn me off. It looks like I will have to pass on this one. I will upload more pics if I get more.

Thanks again,
Shane
