    Esteemed Omega nuts,

    Idly wondering of the dial below has been relumed?

    I know that tritium can shrink with age, but the colouration is very uniform and looks suspect to me. Of course, without magnifying the dial 500x I am sure it looks fine, regardless.

    Thanks in advance!

    This same piece was in a previous thread, and I believe the consensus was yes, relume. I would also caution you on the seller, if you look through his Completed Listings, you'l see that he recently had multiple auctions offering to sell a one dollar bill in exchange for positive feedback. Pretty sure the auctions were shut down, but not the behavior of someone I would want to give my hard earned money to.

    Not quite the Iron Law of Physics but pretty close: all ebay sellers from Hawaii are wacky.

    my best guess is you're generally dealing with a strange brew of Japanese ex- pats and Japanese-Americans...
