£11,300 strikes me as being far too steep for this watch.

It might not have the provenance of the 321 calibre, but I'd rather have something like a Dark Side which is cheaper and comes with some much more interesting engineering (to me, anyway) with the ceramic case etc.

Lovely watch but I think I'd seek out an original 1960s one for less.

Definitely this.

Is that a fake patina on the Lume?

Nonsense.

Patina comes with age. Fake patina implies artificially giving something an aged look. The lume on this watch is designed to look like the original 64/65 watch as it was when it was BRAND NEW. No patina about it, fake or otherwise; just a carefully observed accurate historical reproduction.
