Not perfect pictures, not perfectly cleaned. The case can use an extra polish. I don't want to clean the dial because I like that old look.

When looking in the master book I think this one is a Tank 9. But with the hands of Tank 1 and the dial of Tank 13. What would you say?

And the seller stated is as Green gold. How can you see it is green gold? I would call it pale greenish yellow. If this one is green I might have more green gruen's... hmmm.

It is running fine but has 1 problem. It spreads radium. Shocked

See what I mean with that in the picture below. The crystal is not a perfect fit. Could a little bit glue fill in those gaps?
