    I paid my dues but now I think I have my first vintage Omega. Seamaster! I love this watch.

    I didn’t even see it’s the original crystal...until I kept looking because your post bothered me...the original crystal has the omega at an angle...easy fix and makes me feel even better. It’s all original!

    I know...it’s a long learning curve. I followed the recommended watches thread in this forum and jumped on this one. It’s a huge rabbit hole once you go down...

    I put a Geiger counter to mine. The lume is Radium. I’m not going to lick the hands or snort them.

    I also dig that strap on that watch. Where did you get it?

    Wow- they have Tritium clinics for that if you find you can't handle it anymore....although I have heard they have switched to Superluminova and the hardcore shooters are going back to street lume....probably just glow sticks but I hear it gives you a quick fix.

    The logo in the crystal itself ? They are never straight - nobody that I know of (even Omega themselves) is anal enough to line those up perfectly!

    Dude, I was kidding him.

    And yet, you are very wrong there. Think about those crystals with the "blob" or "cyclops". And I have several watches without and the logo is aligned up and down by a semi-anal watchmaker, right @Tmorehouse51?
