has anyone posted the effects of extreme UV light exposure? i.e. a month under a UV light?

True.

From looking at most of these, it appears you are correct. Ed ghost:

I bought this watch some time ago on eBay, and it came from ownership not a dealer. The centre hand was incorrect so I put this non omega lollipop on it.

the bezel was faded, and while it could be a bleached bezel, I don’t know how given the history it would make sense - although I readily accept the owner could have sent it for a service and the watchmaker did it?

Who knows.

FWIW, I've had this one for perhaps as much as a decade. It came from another OF member and neither of us had treated the bezel. While we can't be sure of its entire history, it did spend much if its life in South Africa and I believe the colour changes to be natural

Here‘s my 105.012 with photographic proof that this bezel developed this light ghosting during the first ownership.
