Exactly - you "think" you see... but keep in mind this is exactly the sort of situation where you can't tell what you're looking at... that sort of detail is way below the limit of resolution, and your mind has to creatively "fill in" for you if you know what you're looking for. So it doesn't really prove anything. But logically it seems likely.

based on the pics I have seen of the real deal I would have to go with the Amber. Ruby is much darker in color and far less translucent.

I used both back in the day, and I would agree with that statement. [EDIT: now I'm thinking that the "X" is ruby and the "8-diamond" is AMBER... see below]
It also makes sense because the "X" is not two overlapped strips as you might think - there's no diamond of doublle-opacity in the middle.
BTW it looks like Deckard is not the only "retired" cop back in service, if people's theories about that "X" are correct. :lol
