This is coming up for auction and I admit to some interest, will still on my travels so without inspection I would only go for a low ball offer.
Questions with only one image to go on, am I right to consider the second hand is not correct and lume is missing from hands? dark marks to batons are simply shadows and as always an idea of value - the piece is reported as recently serviced

Finished work a bit early today, gardening called.
Couldn't resist a self indulgent shot in the autumn sunshine -

Not sure if it's original but the blue hand looks great. Are you going to polish the other two?

Looks nice, sharp case and nice dial and it looks like the lume is there in the hands...is this the full size case..if so DIBS!🤩

The second hand puzzles me a bit, on the wrist it looks black which is what I would expect but with you I like the way it came out in that shot.
Hoping to contact whoever serviced it and find out if they had a close look at the hands, they look to me as if a clean should do the trick.

Nice piece - I have one as well - 7809 from 1953. Explorer style dial 3-6-9-12 with the blue hand. Blue hand is normal.

Not any good ones handy but I might take some this weekend if the sun is out. The CFB lighting doesn't catch the hand. This one needs a little work. I have another in good shape with a red tipped hand.

Great looking vintage Tudor. These are excellent watches at (currently) reasonable prices. I have a 1957 ref. 7950 with a Honeycomb 3/6/9/12 arabic dial and bombe lugs.

Reintitan, agree with you 100% some really good deals still available but for how much longer ?
Three in my meagre collection but hope to increase that number before prices hit realistic levels.

Can I ask how much Alpha and Reintitan paid for those watches?

BTW - I recently took some better shots of my other 7809 so only a month late on posting them
