    If they have been relumed, someone did a very neat job. Just a suggestion, but the different lume condition on hands and dial might be a normal aging effect due to different chemical composition of metal, underlying paint/lacquer, etc.

    Those hands are really ugly! ::puke:: Lugs looks over polished, redail and I doubt thats an omega crown.
    Just leave and don't look back.

    If you look carefully at the dial, I think you can see holes at 12, 3, 9 and flanking the Omega logo. If this is the case, this would likely be due to removal of markers/logo and then a refinish. The hands are also incorrect.

    There are plenty of Seamaster 30's floating around on eBay etc with this Ranchero style dial layout and (almost) all are redials. Tread carefully with them.
