 He only had one GMT in the case so nothing to compare it against.  Interesting side note,  looks like my wife will be working parttime at this jewelers  - can you say 'employee discount'?  :cool:  She used to work at Bailey, Banks & Biddle- where employees could buy direct from the manufacturer at a discount of 50% + 20% off MSRP, which was how I got my Tag SEL(which my son now has).

I was looking very closely at the GMT and was amazed when I looked at the lume on it.  The application of the lume was uneven, lumpy and made it look 'cheap' for a $2500 watch.  I asked the owner about it - he said, noone in his 25 years in business ever noticed something like that or asked about it.  I happened to be wearing my Orsa 3T Sea Angler and showed him the outstanding job Kent did on the lume. 

He quickly changed the subject and started calculating a price on the PO for me (and before you ask, no it didn't come home with me - not yet).   Question I have is,  is that normal to expect on a watch of the quality of an Omega or am I being too picky?

Steve,

Were they all like that? Perhaps a bad apple.

No you were not to picky at $2500 it should be perfect.
