No-lume early Oyster Date w/full-metal sword hands?
An acquaintance of mine says they came into a '63 dated Oyster Date with original dial, but service hands. They describe the hands as being the sword variety, but full metal with no lume, and they aren't dauphine - he's more of a noob than even I, but I can't see him bungling that.
Does that sound right to any vintage folks out there? I haven't gotten to see it or get a pic yet, but was curious (especially if anyone has an example) what this should look like - if it even exists, haha. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all! |

Alpha hands probably. Does the dial have lume? Honestly, I think it’s pointless without photos. Who knows what he has.

He just texted me a pic (I'll post if we strike a deal; in deference should we not and he make a sales post I'll refrain for now) and you gents nailed it with the alpha hands idea.
I'll see if we can meet up and if it works out, pics soon to follow! |

63 will have a “swiss” dial, if it’s t swiss t it’s been replaced.

Dial looks good from the one pic so far, appears fairly polished though. We'll see what happens!
