Passed down from my Grandfather.

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

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! 馃榾

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!
