Hi all. Someone emailed me to say my watch had been mentioned here. I’ve not been in here for many years but have been collecting vintage Omega for about 20 and a lot of people know me individually and as SweepingHand.

some strange comments here though?? The dial has been washed and has no lume?? Oil marks??

It has all original lume to dial and hands and glows exactly as it should under UV and light ie it will glow and then die very quickly. If you want to see a video of it WhatsApp me and I’ll send it.

I’ve been away since posting first pic on my Facebook/Instagram saying it was coming in so not sorted out all the photos yet but will do later this week and add them to social media and my site if it’s still available.

The dial is a normal dark colour. You only really see the brown tones in bright light or direct sunshine. It’s not like one of my very light brown caramel Speedmasters. That’s also why it’s not mega money….
Thanks for your reply. We work with some poor pictures posted by a member of a promising chocolate fade watch, priced in low range and raise questions. The common caveat is that these questions need resolution by requesting better shots. That’s what we do here. We are all ( mostly) collectors too. No one is trashing your watch. Caveat emptor. We are skeptical until we are not.

Hello Jason! Thanks for your comment!
That was me who started the thread. I did not want to undermine your credibility in any way. Just noticed very promising dial and you told me the price on the low end so I knew it could go fast and tried to get as much insight by more knowledgeables here as I could with pics that were accesible.
