    I would kindly ask for the opinions of more experienced Omega collectors. I was under the impression that the chrono spear hand should have a "pointy" end.

    These two examples however show even patina and color change withouth any major(to my eye) obvious signs of relume. Are these super early service hands? Or did the chrono spear hands have different types(i.e. pointy vs blunt)? Screenshot_20190630-204425_1.jpg Screenshot_20190630-204444_1.jpg
    I am not considering to purchase (yet :cool:) and neither of these are mine. Just looking to learn something. Thanks in advance.

    The first one looks like paint has been globbed heavily onto all three hands.

    And the Hour markers and most likely the dial too... ;)

    Oh, I see. You mean as in white paint? as if to make it mintier? The definition of those sharp edges is somewhat lost and the angles/corners look rounder and fuller. That is if I understood correctly what you're referring to. :thumbsdown:

    I see differences in the subdial hand points too. Others may confirm but I’m under the impression that suggests service replacement. (Bottom pic)
