abat Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was in NYC last week on holiday, being a big Mets fan I managed to get to 4 games. At one of these games I managed to whack my gen speedy quite hard against the metal upright of a seat leaving a very ugly looking deep tramline type scratch in the hesalite. To say I was not amused is a little of an understatement. I'd heard great things about Polywatch so I decided to give it a go before going the AD and major expense route.

ubiquitous Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 ...I noticed something I haven't observed before. Right in the centre of the dome there is an etched omega symbol. Like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yes like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Interesting. Do all gen Omegas have this or just the older speedy's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 The older, vintage Omegas have the crystals signed Omega. Not sure if this is across certain/all models or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 When I had my mid 80's Speedy it in fact DID have the omega stamp on the crystal. It is directly over the canon pinion. I have looked at a couple more recent Speedy's that did not have this stamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Mine is a "Moon to Mars" Speedy and it has one but it is really really hard to see. I have had it 6 months and never noticed, you have to catch the light just right to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 My 2000 Speedy Pro has the symbol on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestripes Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I think it's on all the hesalite (plastic...) crystals. My post 2000 speedy has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 My new reduced has it as well, I like to hand mine to people and see if they notice it. Another neat trick is to use toothpaste to remove scratches from it if you were not inclined to purchase a special product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the playful eyes Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks for the tip! My speedy's crystal is all scratched up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogaro Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I think that it's only on hesalite crystal. My 3572 got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I think that it's only on hesalite crystal. My 3572 got it. I have a gen De Ville with hesalite crystal and I don't have the symbol... Maybe is just for speedmaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 My 2006 3570 and 1969 145022-69 both have the logo on the crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 finally I found the logo on the hesalite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
