Thanks gatorcpa! Seems like I am starting to get a hang of this The things you mention are things I have reacted to as well, naturally without being sure if they where correct or not.

I will leave this one. Sad that you cannot even trust companies specialising on vintage watches.

 

Hard to tell but are there lume plots on the dial? If not there should be to match the hands and the fact that it claims tritium. Speaking of which; isn't it missing a T?

 

Some watches only had line in the hands and not on the dial. Hence just one T.

 

I did not know that.

 

This statement is completely wrong. Sorry.

 

What's the correct answer?

 

With lume dials, no T, one T or two T's depend on model and when it was manufactured, not the amount of tritium on the dial and hands.

I haven't seen an original vintage Omega with lume on hands only with no lume on dial.

 

Thanks. That's why I'm a member here.

 

Thanks. I really did not know that.

 

Why, sometimes I've said as many as six completely wrong things before breakfast.

(With apologies to Lewis CarrOll)

 

Only six, you're going to have to try harder
