How much it cost to replace a dial in USA?

[Jpierrefuertes]

So unfortunately I received a ZF Omega Seamaster with a deformed"M" on the word master, highly visible. The seller sent me a replacement dial but now I need to pay for someone to change it for me. Can anyone give me an estimate of how much that will cost me. Thank you in advance

Yes, one of the US based watchmakers can so ask them by contacting a couple.

I have 2 local watch makers and they have shop minimums of $60/$75 unless it's a watch battery, the average dial change takes about 30 minutes.

I asked about swapping dials and replacing a broken crystal in 2019 and they quoted me $140/$210 so i bought the tools /
Parts and watched a lot of YouTube and have replaced multiple dials, crystals, hands, stems, movements since

hopefully that helps

Yes, Thanks. That's awesome you acquired a new skill lol, But doing it myself is out of the picture because I'm not planing to work on watches and dont want to take the risk of messing it up . Someone else quoted me 50-100 not including shipping fees. So I guess finding a local watchmaker will be by best choice

50-100 sounds about right. If this is a SMP300 they will probably have to remove the deco plates to get at the 2824 clips for the dial feet, so there is a little more involved than gen.
