All I know is it went to a great home. One of the best Frankens out there at the time. I ended up going gen. You did really well on that.

As far as I have read there are two dials or batches that came with the 2531. One set patinas the other did not. Mine is 1999 and there is no patina but I have seen many gens with it. Maybe mine was re lumed but I do not believe so.

Yes mate, Omega did a transition somewhere around 1996/1997.

"Serif" in 3 and a shape of 'ft' is a good way to tell tritium or superluminova.

As far as I know superluminova should not age with the patina, which is why I've asked about the mod.

I love these 300m with patina!

This was the first Omega watch I had ever seen in the wild and was a gen...it was quite possibly where the Omega love affair started with me. yllekp just took me back to about 2002 I believe....these have aged extremely well.

Looks quite familiar to me ;)

Yep...truly my grail watch...lucky for me most CONUS folks were scared to buy outside the country...and Patrick was a bit slow on the trigger.

The tube came loose so it went unworn for a while until I found someone who could fix it...I should have it back real soon...I can't wait to get it back on the wrist.

Thanks again for a beautiful build my friend.
