    Just a quick question, I have been watching this black faced Cosmic which I was interested in but I am suspicious about the lumed indices. They just don't appear as crisp as they should be, would this be evidence of being re-lumed or am I being overly cautious? The watch looks incredibly clean

    Thanks

    To my eye, those plots are a bit sloppy for Omega...

    Looks fine to me.

    Don't forget we're comparing something from the late 60s to the perfection of modern dials.

    looks like a nice example. Would be easier to be 100% sure with more natural pictures but as it is, it looks good.

    Many thanks for all the feedback. My concerns were primarily with 1, 11, 4, 7 which did not seem to be exactly straight but I do appreciate the age of the watch, this one being 1968. It is such a clean example that the lack of crispness and darker patination made me suspicious other than that it looked good to me.
