Check out this defect on Dark Side of the Moon!
Hey guys, handled an Omega Dark side of the Moon and when looking at it I saw some dust on the dial and some light shining through the case back. Omega mentioned "faulty" dials have been installed on this model over the year. Take a look at the pictures below. I personally have never seen anything like this. I'm afraid to order one because of the same issue with the light/dust which I feel may be a uniform issue across this model line. Their explanation of the dust on the dial and on the case back (not shown in pictures) is because of an issue with the seals where the chronograph pushers are. They told me to shine a flashlight through the back of the clear case back and turn the watch around to see if light comes through the dial. If so, it's considered defective (according to the Omega Boutique watch tech). What do you think?
Take a look and give me your advice! |

I'd pass or require very close inspection.

Weird.
Without lighting from the back, does the dial look odd at all? |
