I forgot to ask 3 questions.
1. Mine has a T next to the Swiss Made but many watches I have seen don't have this T. What does it mean? Tritium?
2. I'd like an Omega branded brick bracelet. But they cost as much as a watch. Are there options? I guess I could buy another watch with a good condition brick bracelet?
3. Is there any way to get new Tritium paint to redo the hands and markers?
Thanks
John

·Yes, T stands for Tritium. I don't suggest to re-new Tritium paint, in a few years it will lose its "power". I have an Omega steel bracelet that I paid a lot, but the result is great. It depends on you.

Tritium has a 12 year half life, so it is down to 3 to 4% of it's original activity after 57 years. I'd be happy to repaint but I can't source it. You can buy it is as a gas in a glass ampoule, so someone could mix it with some paint. But not me. I would not muck around with radioactive gas. In the paint it is OK.

·Thanks. I agree the SS bracelet really suits the watch, not so much my wallet.

You have to find a watchmaker doing the job, if you have this will; ye, don't do it on your own. Even because opening this watch is not easy.

·Nice watch. The watch may be in good condition for it's age, but tell the wife she is in good condition, period, if you want to live a long and happy life.

·Why do most cases have exposed lugs? See first photo. And others the lugs are hidden? See second photo.
