7021 for consideration

Looking at Snowflakes and came across this 7021 with an asking price of $6950. Was bought from a dealer in 2022 and came serviced. Obviously this one has seen some wear and tear over the years, but I like that look as long as everything is original and the case isn't over polished.

The only thing standing out is the insert—it looks aftermarket with the thin numbers and metal ring surrounding the pip.

Insert is no bueno. Dial is relumed.

Figure the bezel was for sure not-original. Wasn't sure on the dial, but kind of had a hunch. Thanks for your eyes.

Yes as J says relumed and insert aftermarket, rather odd T, D, R in TUDOR and depth 2 and 0 too (touched up perhaps), datewheel 2 two colour? Deffo pass for me and I like scruffers !

Ps I do like it when as part of the aging process all the writing goes that goldy/gilt colour as this one has.

I have one similar, its a very warm look.
