i am sooooo close to snatching this up. I think the dial looks very nice. Maybe too nice? I’m a touch worried about the markers and where they point. Have they been removed when new varnish was applied? Am I freaking out over nothing?

 

Welll.. dials marked T and I see no place for lume on the dial.. hands...

Maybe it’s on the indices... but cleaned off?

 

Looks pretty good to me. I believe there's a little dot of lume on the end of each marker, though it has degraded over time:

 

Is this a listing in the private watch sale forum? I am not sure if the crown is original, the logo on the crown does not match the logo on the dial...

 

Yes, private watch sale forum. I’ve pm,d a few people but have not heard back. Tbh, I’m not sure of proper etiquette for questioning authenticity of a sale on OF.

 

did you PM him? The watch looks great overall, and the seller has decent review. Maybe he just doesn't check OF that often

 

In other photos you can clearly see the lume in the hands and markers. Also, in other photos you can clearly see that some of the markers are misaligned. I don't know how that compares with other examples of this reference.

 

yes, i have this piece listed on OF.
I believe the flat feet with hook crown is correct to this reference.

and no, he didn't come to me with queries

 

I just checked the reference the crown looks correct

It is called "Genuine Omega Crown Yellow Bestfit 8100/1074" according to - http://www.ofrei.com/page_147.html
and the pics from https://omegaforums.net/threads/1967-omega-ref-145-005-67-cal-321-authentic.74616/ confirms that

 

apologies for the doubt, it is a beautiful watch.

 

No worries, i'm happy to clear any doubts.
Thank you

 

Markers misaligned is my biggest concern. Only 1 reason I can think of for that to happen.

 

The markers are not misaligned. It could be the distortion of the crystal.

I'm Happy to provide more photos or even a video if you DM me.

 

I would reach out directly to the seller with any questions/concerns. Then run the discussion past a neutral 3rd party not connected to the sale. Unless you know for a fact that something is wrong, in which case sometimes people will post directly into the thread. But you'd better be right if you are going to do that....

 

The lume is definitely correct. These markers are faceted so they reflect light differently and cast shadows. I believe it just the angle of the photo and light.

Here is mine in similar angle and lighting condition. Disregard the chrono hand, a correct one is on the way!

 

The hands do have lume in them I Believe?

 

I do believe so.

 

Sooooooo ... you've got a spare lollipop?
