Re: Do the color on the bezels fade?

In Response To: Re: Do the color on the bezels fade? ()

I had a similar thing happen with an accurist chronograh I had. The bezel on that was stainless steel, with blackened numbers etched into it. The number 40 came off and like you say, it does make the watch look really bad. I had it sent away some time later to have a new crystal and when it came back, the 40 had been re-blackened and it looked great again. I know we are not comparing apples with pears here, but if a much lower quality brand can sort it out with little difficulty, then I'm sure Omega will resolve the issue for you. I'm no expert, but I can't see it being a problem.
