Hi everyone, I just picked up a brand new white dial speedy and noticed a white mark on the minute chrono wheel, I’m thinking it might be Fomblin but I want to hear from other people before I visit the dealer.

I’m not certain the juice is worth the squeeze dealing with this. But if it bothers you, take it in to the dealer.

I agree, however my concern is if it’s some sort of oxidation, which could be from something more sinister.

Unlikely to be Fomblin, but more likely something from the manufacture of the wheel, rather than from assembly.

So they may have missed this during QC? Do you think it might be some sort of oxidation? Should I raise this with Omega given your expertise? Cheers
