Potentially not the right place to post this and it's one of those where I'm not looking for a solution but rather thought you'd like to see it...
Picked up a sketchy looking 6105-8000 the other day, the dial on which I've never seen the likes of before... The paint has literally solidified and lifted away from the dial in places, I'm some parts completely (and has been touched up with a matte black).
I showed it to someone who works on and has a healthy obsession with these things - they told me they've seen this before on less than a handful of old Seiko dials, and think it's caused by water sitting on the sides and corrosion.
It's quite a mess, but at least most of it is still there! Not sure about that relume either, though I should add I went to this eyes wide open price wise and the rest of the watch is good.
