It is very difficult to tell about the crystals from the photos (or any other photos). It might be worth asking the seller. Many collectors would consider a replacement of the crystals as an acceptable form of "routine maintenance" . . . same as with older chronographs.

What appears to be white around the numerals is actually where the radium has receded / deteriorated over the years. In the more than 40 years since they were made, this seems to happen to all these radium-painted Master Times and Monte Carlos. In my opinion, another acceptable form of aging.

To my eye, this is a great looking set that should fetch a handsome price. It's very difficult to find these older pairs that are real pairs, from the factory, and this one looks legitimate.
