Re: Siffert on the bay - relume?
In Response To: Siffert on the bay - relume? ()

: A Siffert popped up for a short auction on eBay this weekend; no
: doubt you gentlemen are already aware. Looks like the dial may
: have been relumed though, on the last two photos... I've always
: wanted one of these earlier models (mine is a transitional early
: Cal.12) but I'm not sure if I should go for this one. Any
: thoughts?
: Of course, were I to pick this one up, my current one would be up
: for sale shortly...

The dial looks like it has been relumed but the hands look original, not easy to tell from the pics to be fair but easily rectified imho.

Thats if this is the watch you speak of? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEUER-AUTAVIA-JO-SIFFERT-CHRONOGRAPH-AUTOMATIC-CAL-No-Reserve-As-Is-99-start-/281325704500?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item4180519534

Best,
