Dear OF,

There is a dilemma in which I need your advice. As a patient: Omega Seamaster 2846 4 SC, from 1958.

Please tell me if in your opinion, should the hands have radium or not and why?

If the dial has lume, the hands should have lume.

The dial have a place for lume but do not have lume inside

Lume has been removed. Hands are incorrect.

I still see traces of lume, hands should have lume regardless.

OK, you like semantics. If the dial has a place for lume, the hands should have a place for lume. Better?

Can you still find radium hands? And mail them?

You can find hands, but that dial and case look fantastic. Even if you got a cheap donor watch for hands, it would be worth it IMO.

Agreed with the above.
You can have sometimes lume on hands and not on dial, but you can't have the opposite.
