Freezing the 6 o'clock dial on Omega Speedmaster

I'm have an Omega Speedmaster 'Moon' (manual wind) watch on it's way from Ruby. I know that the 6 o'clock dial does not function correctly - it follows the movement of the hour hand and I know that there is a way to freeze the hand. I've read instructions here on how to do it.

But I have no watch modding experience at all and I could not do this work. Who could I contact on the board about doing this work for me?

Try Katt or G. They are Trusted Watchsmiths here.

Thanks for posting that Francisco. Should be an easy mod for anyone with reasonable A7750 experience.

Thanks Francisco! Unfortunately, I have no experience working on watches. Can anyone in the CONUS offer to do this mod on my watch? Contacted Katt, but had no luck.

the watch shown in the tuto is not mine, so I am offering the mod.
