Hey Guys:

If you notice in my original photos, I have a SMP with the white dial. I originally updated it to the black edged hour and minute hands.

It was a lot easier to read than the orginal Stainless Steel hands; however, at cetain times of day and/or light conditions, it was still pretty weak.

Last week, a small package from Otto Frei arrived! In it were new minute/hour hands in international orange!

It only took my watchmaker about 10 minutes to make the swap and VIOLA!!

I now have a great looking Omega that can be easily read in all but pitch black conditions!! And, it my be one of a kind, too !
