Thoughts, Info and Advise
Hello All,I have an opportunity to buy this omega. Just wondered if the omega experts could fill me in a bit. All I know is that it's a limited edition Schumacher Legend.

Planet Ocean + Blacklight = Orange Lume?!
Today, I went to the Hong Kong Science Museum (great, but not quite as good as the one in Vancouver, Canada). They had a special exhibit featuring deep-sea animals, and one area with a blacklight for fishes that are bio-luminescent. When I went in, I glanced at my watch and thought I was wearing a Ball tritium watch!

A special fluorescent pigment in the paint? Perhaps it would be an easy way to easily sniff out the fake POs which admittedly are becoming scary-good nowadays.Anyway, nice lume shot...so bright without extended exposure. I love blacklights.

What gives ???
I'm fairly new here to these parts of the Interwebs, more of a long time lurker, recent posting convert and I know the SS Sport shortage situation has been beat to death here recently, but this is making my face hurt. I have convinced myself that what I really need in life right now is a Datejust 41 or two. I prefer to at least start with the ADs and see what they have and what they can are willing to do. I have 3 that I have dealt with for a few years. I buy a watch or two every now and then and stay in reasonable contact with each. For that matter I have a HUGE deposit with one of them for a paid in full white Daytona C and a partial on a watch to be named later (think, no dream, Coke C GMT). All three ADs quoted me full price on a DJ41. Today one of them sited the current sport model shortage as justification. Generally, I consider myself an easy to get along with sort, fairly amusing from time to time, I'm pretty serious about my watch collection (all three ADs know this), a

Help me understand the random serial number
Can random Rolex serial numbers start with a letter and then a series of numbers or must they always start with a number and then a combination of letters and numbers to follow?
