I got QC pics for a watch I ordered. It was on special so at a slight discount. This is the first 'on special' watch I ever purchased.

As I look at the QC pics, the 3-6-9 colors look off. I saw that in the pic on the website but assumed it was just lighting of the gallery pic. Even if it was off, I assumed it would've consistent but I thought it would be the omega orange.

Also, the lume of the minute hand as well as the pearl - should it be green?

Thank for any help or suggestions.

Hazing well you now need to be hazed for this... :lol:

The Omega PO lume is accurate. It is supposed to have distinct color differences on the pearl and minute hand. This is a feature of this watch.

As for the color, the markers are metallic and therefore lighting plays a key role in how they look.

This watch looks great.

You should spend some time in the Omega section reading about these models.

I think it looks good. The pearl and minute hands are lumed differently on Omegas dive watches so you can more easily measure your remaining air time

The three markers all look like they're the same color to me.

Thanks guys. Yes, I know the minute hand and pearl are supposed to be a different color but I thought they’d be green in contrast to the blue. Where they look more like a white, I didn’t know if this was an acceptable variation or just the lighting. Looking at the pic, I realized I’ve seen very few omegas lummed in person (gen or rep).

i appreciate the feedback and am looking forward to this watch.

Hard to tell if it's green or white because these lume shots get so overexposed. Looking around though, I'm seeing white and green being used on various gems, as well as some that just have one color for all the lumed markers. So it seems like it's something that Omega themselves haven't been super consistent on.
