Bit of drama about this today. I looked at the watch after posting the photo this morning and realized that the lume was crumbling out of the minute hand. It was all over the dial and had gone into the date window, so the movement was probably shot too (it's a non-hacking model).

I took it back to the dealer, who essentially had a horrible attitude and said I was on my own because it was vintage. I pulled out the six-month guarantee (I'd had it for less than two months) but the guy tried to claim that it didn't cover lume. This wasn't stated anywhere, so I dug in. After about 30 minutes of occasionally heated discussions he reluctantly agreed to a full refund.

I'm not a big fan of aggro at all, so it took quite a lot out of me. Lesson learned: Don't take BS about the terms of guarantees.

Won't be going back to that dealer...

Well done mate - sorry for aggro/stress. Vintage will do that to you sometimes!

Ben, I know Corleone very well. It's where I got my 5512 and my silver-faced Tudor Big Block. I'll PM you about it later.

It threw me because it's on a jubilee rather than the president bracelet in Marc's ID photo. Either way, very nice!

It's a YG 1803 white dial with Red Quadrants on a Jubilee
