Is this auto weight swapped or normal? Yellower than the movement

Hi everyone,

I do wonder if its expected for the weight to match the hue of the movement 1:1 - on this watch its 1-2 hues yellower - also came with a fingerprint, could belong to the culprit 😁

Do you guys care about the weight matching color? Since these gold coated parts patinate, maybe a longer/different chemical process could've altered the hue of the weight too, otherwise everything looks original

There was a comment on a thread recently suggesting movement parts were often supplied in different hues.
However, I remember reading an essay (on Desmond’s site IIRC) noting that Omega took great care in matching the movement parts colour-wise.

Given that your rotor has the little circle and that it is a distinctly different colour it is likely a replacement.

Is it an issue?
Aesthetically perhaps but as @Davidt says, it’s the correct shape for the age of the movt.

So if you were to sell, a simple explanation of the colour difference should negate any negative feelings towards the colour variation.
