Hi Desmond,
This is interesting. I would think that a superficial residue (yellowish film) could easily be dabbed or wiped away, thus leaving intact the etched logo--no heavy handed buffing or polishing required. Granted, I've seen old, yellow-ish crystals wherein the foreign substance is actually embedded to or within the plastic and no amount of buffing or polishing could bring it back to acceptable clarity, but these were on non-Omega, lower quality watches. Anyway, the consensus I reached for very-hard-to-see etched logos is that they left the factory that way. [Under a loupe, although faint, the lines are fairly defined, not soft or obliterated as you would expect them to be if polished].
