Re: Watch Arrived
In Response To: Re: Depends on the material... ()

My watch arrived. It is serial number 60228xxx and has the new lumi(?). Looking at it side by side with a Citizen sports watch with lumi(?), both were explosed to the sun this afternoon, they both seem to be glowing at about the same rate as the night goes on. The Citizen has larger hands hence they glow more.

: I have a "Bond" Seamaster ordered. I hope it is the
: new Lumi(?) technology. I was not aware that Omega used,
: based on scans and Omega's literature, the branding that
: R***X used with the T (Tritium) and T < 25 on either
: side of "Swiss Made." Perhaps, comparing serial
: numbers for Omega's would help. When my Omega arrives I
: will be glad to start a serial number log.
