·Out of curiosity, is it normal for the paint in the etchings to come off within the first year of ownership?
Normal wear for the etchings to lose paint within a few years?

·It can be fixed pretty easily with a small bottle of gloss black hobby paint if it bothers you.

·The paint began to come off of my vintage Speedmaster’s case back after a few years, but I’ve found that not to be the case with my Seamaster 300M after 3 years of ownership. It’s interesting given that I baby my Speedy, but run in the Seamaster, wear it in the water and hot summer days, etc.

·That looks like a no time to die, so likely under warranty. I don’t know, but I suspect omega might cover it under warranty since it does looks closer to premature wear vs accidental damage.

It is still under warranty, but considering it's running at +0.2 sec/day, and resets to 0 if I leave it on its side at night, I don't think I'd risk sending it in over anything cosmetic. This is the most accurate watch I've ever owned.

·I don't even know if my green Seamaster has (or had) paint in the etchings. . .
