    Nice one!
    But don't get it refurbished like your Seamaster!

    Your grandfather had quite a collection! Please don't send this one away for "reconditioning". ;)

    Please accept this in the constructive manner in which it is meant - can somebody explain to me why lumed indices with non-lumed hands is non-remarkable in this example?

    Agreed. I actually specified in my order with Omega NOT to change the dial or replace any of the original hands. I was never consulted as to the redial. When I picked it up at my local Omega dealer after it came back from Switzerland I must admit I loved the watch. I am not a collector, just a fan of old timepieces, especially those my grandfather gave me. My watches will never be sold by me but rather will be passed down to my boys. I just get a wonderful sense of pride looking down at my wrist knowing my grandfather purchased these rather modest watches because he though they were cool. I hope my boys use them, not keep them in a closet. I have about 20 gold family pocket watches as well that I never use but will never sell. I never use or see them, they sit in a closet. So, I get it. For the purest I may have devalued my Seamaster, but I could not be more happy wearing it and it keeping perfect time 60 years on. That said, isn't the above post of the Solid gold oversize Aero-Compax the coolest watch you have ever seen! :)

    May be those are not lumed Indices, more like those reflective coloured ones?

    Excellent! I've seen another rectangular UG but with different case & dial, but yours look great!
