Trilo,
IMHO I believe the dial, hands and internal bezel are AM.

Some more photos above if it helps.
My friend bought it, even thou I shared the info from Fergus and that with my limited experience the condition makes me doubt it.
EDIT: He tested the lume and the glow disappeared within a minute. Hands kept glowing bit longer.
He bought watch here in Finland from and Swedish antique dealer.

For me it's the very shiny lume.

I'm staying with AM dial, hands and inner bezel. Agreed. The chronograph 'G' is the give away for the dial. The tachy bezel is also wrong - the 0, 7 and 5 are incorrect.

Thanks guys
I was also suspicious by the too good looks and when he posted the lume shot I thought that the lume looked way too clean for a vintage watch.
I shared with him that these are widely faked and that it raised suspicion in me and most of all in here. He still pulled the trigger.
I give him some time before I break the final news.
How do they fake weak lume anyway?

Okay. My dad built a Pouge that he loves and we are keeping. Found a lot of photos of him wearing it. But in order to build that pogue, He went through a lot of parts. Going to sell off the parts, as there might be useful stuff for people. I don’t want to ever list them as something they are not. If this is fun, I would love your help. Here is the first one: I get that there are pogue purists and others who say any yellow faced 6139 is a pogue. You can help me make that distinction.

Obviously the shiny lume looks like modern seiko offerings, also, on the aftermarket dials I always have a beef with the 12 o clock marker. Don't want to reveal the "tell", but it's one of the first things I look at after the subdial

They are what we term Columbo's All looks gen apart from the crown/stem fit. I like that term Columbo; thank you. I probably will consider then servicing with a full overhaul with my watchmaker. He should have an OEM crown for this model. Hopefully he can polish those dents.

Was watching the Arnold Schwarzenegger Netflix series last night, and the first thought of Colombu that to my mind was Franco Columbu (slightly different spelling).

Colombo, Italian for Dove, from latin Columba.
Saint Columba, Irish saint, who founded a monastery on Isle of Iona.
Iona is greek (atleast ancient) for dove and Yonah/Ionah (atleast ancient) for dove in Hebrew.
So a saint called Saint Dove, lived on an island called Dove. Funny.
