FURTHER FRAUD in glass land.

[retroleds]

While writing this month's Digital Article for www.thedigitalwatch.com, I noticed in Simon Alexander's description of the Pulsar glass, how he crowed about being the one to bring us a stash of NOS Omega glass. I started to sweat - oh crap, I bought an Omega off him!!

You guessed it, the logo is as fake as can be.

Have you tried using a watch material house?
Most older Omega parts are available but they are sometimes newly made rather than NOS.

IIUC, member Geoff had has same problem with a crystal he purchased directly from Omaga for $250; 2 threads:

Both those threads are regarding the same, single piece of glass. ODD thing is, Omega hasn't been selling those crystals to the public for 3-4 years. When did they start up again? Maybe they got them from some guy at the airport," pss,pss, hey Mr., want to buy a fine piece of glass".

I have an extensive collection of Omegas - Analogue, LED,LCD....only one with a piece of that "flake printed" type of glass(bought from Simon). We STILL don't have any explaination for why the P2 glasses sold by Simon shows a shadow of a logo that was polished off, and some of the PRINTED ones show a logo that was polished off at the opposing corner. And none of them are nearly as flat as an original glass.
I thought we were letting this die down.......

(your statement is a bit speculative, but a good opportunity to use one of the new smileys )
