The blue outer circle of the dial tends to fade with time, so you’ll encounter specimens with different shades of blue, ranging from very light blue (almost white…) to an intense azure.

The most precious part here, and the only one impossible to easily replace, is the dial. Check the printing and the lume. There are now fakes of this dial as well, beware.
