Re: Luminova application quality?

In Response To: Luminova application quality? ()

I have a Bond SMP and I, too, have a very critical eye. I noticed a while ago that the luminova is not placed perfectly in the center of the white dots underneath the luminova. However, the limited edition 007 SMP has metal circles around the luminova dial markers (similar to a Rolex Submariner's dial markers). This ensures that the luminova is kept within the metal so there is little room for error. I like this style marker better and wish Omega would use it on all of their Seamasters.

However, to answer your question, you do not have an abnormal watch because your luminova is not perfectly centered. Other SMP's I've looked at in stores also have non-perfectly centered luminova. This is just the best Omega's quality control department can do I suppose.
