no lah...I just try to contribute bit by bit to help bros but that's all my personal opinion and unless I can be firm on my statement then I would say 'confirmed blah blah blah ' rather than 'IMO....." riao. I am still learning like every bros here. Reason why I kinda stop my Omega searches is because of the recent high prices and most importantly ,its like a minefield. I also no confidence and would rather stick with Seiko/Jap/other swiss divers ...

yes, i think what oosim did is great.
it is not only good for us scs members here, but also for all those somehow found their way here. though they might find us tkss some of the time, but there are things to be learnt here. i'm grateful to oosim for the discrepancy he pointed out, now i can tell my boy about this cyclop when i pass him the watch.
good detective work, oosim .

simpler method to check whether is omega original (acrylic..not sure bt mineral/pixelglass etc)is to see if theres a small omega logo in center.

bro I only have collected vintage Omega so what I knw is vintage nia..and on plastic only.. not sure vintage mineral glass have the logo or not.
As for more modern models,perhaps some bros can tell us..
*you can see in ebay/forums,ppl selling vintage omega may highlight the originality of crystal by making closeup macro shot of the crystal,that's bonus to me...but if the non original crystal fits well,then acceptable to me also.most impt is price

no need to do crystal change bro...think Goh will also advise same one. IMO as long its properly fitted riao,then leave it alone unless u gt fate with a NOS original crystal which is probably uncommon.. else you try go cousinsuk or ofrei webby and search for crystal based on the watch model/variant number(inside backcase)

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.

Best way to clear the doubts of this cylop of it and the crystal origin is to bring the watch down to swatch group which is at lvl 4 wheelock place during weekdays before 5pm as from there the techincian will access the origin of the watch and plexi glass of your vintage omega

thats not true , the local technicians there do not have extensive knowledge about vintage watches. usually for such tasks they will have it sent back to switzerland for verification/repair, and u'll get back a hefty bill
we already know for sure the cyclops is not original , i ve seen many nos examples as well as the original catalogues and ads .

my hesalite/acryllic omegas have the logo, can see with naked eye (at the centre). My sapphire models don't seem to have..
