Dial lume is original and shows evidence of moisture intrusion
Markers also show signs of moisture intrusion, with a frosted effect to the tops.
NOS hands are genuine Seiko, Daini-made, with the correct green lume.
Case has no pitting or corrosion damage
Crown rebuilt with a new gasket
Crystal is the original; it has some crazing but I think it looks great so I left it.
