If an alarm clock can still have white paint after 75 years, why not an Omega watch? The fact is, you just don't know what color it was when it was new.

Do it! Superlume Speedies have no soul, so it's a great way to add some. I'm holding a modern Speedmaster for my son, and have been thinking about getting it relumed in a similar manner.

You have GOT to be kidding. OLD magazine ads? That likely weren't color corrected to begin with?
Fine, you win.
Why? That's just ridiculous. "Hey, son, this absolutely perfect watch offended me, so it's now worthless. I wish I'd known in 2020 that in 2060 these watches would be valuable."

I believe he has the freedom to do what the hell he wants with his own stuff, just like you can do what you want with yours.
Also, i'm prettu sure his son would be hapy to have his dad watch NO MATTER the condition!!
Listen, you people go batshit about original Speedmasters. You delight in telling someone about the flaws.
If you care about original watches, then won't you at least tell someone that making a watch unoriginal risks devaluing it significantly?
I an getting really sick and tired of you f---ing hypocrites.

1) You are replying to me.
2) I care about original watches when someone want to sell a watch and have to disclose it. When someone change or mod his watch for his own pleasure he can do what he or she can do what they prefere wants and i have no problem with that ( well, unless the watch turn pink...)
3) PISS OFF!!
I'm going to make a subtle change to my daily Moonwatch. This watch was bought from an AD last year to save my lovey vintage Speedmaster from the perils of the daily grind. However, every day when I look down at the dial I can't help but wish that it just didn't feel so cold. So with the help of The Alchemist Relumer I'm going to change the lume colour to something more in line with the new 321 EW.
I know haters are gonna hate but I can't wait, it's my watch and I think it's going to look bloody cool. 😀
So this is a pretty new watch. Why not buy a second set of dial and hands and do it on those so you keep the original watch alive for future potential use (selling, whatever)?.....
Why don’t you totally redo the dial with one of your illustrations (and correct the lume to birth year shade of mint-green 😜) ... the Sbleasemaster LE 1 of 1 ... Or, get a TinTin dial, paint the red checkers green, correct the lume as mentioned above ... heck I might want one of those...
Why? That's just ridiculous. "Hey, son, this absolutely perfect watch offended me, so it's now worthless. I wish I'd known in 2020 that in 2060 these watches would be valuable."
