Yes, agree. Omega just put their brand on Lemanias work...
I am switching to Lemania, slightly irritated at Omega (Bienne) after they, against my instructions, repainted a dial on an old 27CHRO, pulsometer dial from 1946. I purchased it in Florida and was chasing this model quite a long time. Happened over one year ago and these pulsometer dials are not easy to find. Explains my interest in this Lemania...

They must have totally erased everything and then used some computerised spray painting? The hour nipples are gone.

Fast and easy. 🙁
I’ve seen too many lovely vintage watches being molested by their makers.
A sure sign that their only interest in vintage watches is the money they charge their clients.

I strongly recommend anyone considering a vintage watch service to use independent watchmakers with a proper understanding of collectible vintage watches.
