Question... see above...

Anyone in EU who could do this for me? Maybe combined with a nice bezel aligning and pearl relume?

Some pics for you:

your 6 is off center too..

I'd suggest a new dial or sending it back for a replacement.

The 6 looking off center could just be the angle the picture was taken.

agree or disagree

im lookin at my PO and that picture looks like the end of the 6 is aligned to the 6lume marker, which it shouldnt be.

You can realign the Omega logo....>> take it off from the dial, shave the "pin" that go thur the dial surface and then clue it back. ( I would try to source the correct logo if you do this mod)

I believe Vaccum did successfully realign the pearl.....but again, lots of work there too.


to me.....the pearl is not that bad.....but the logo is :?

I have these both dial available:

Which one is better, in terms of the "6"? Any other flaws? (forget the omega logo here please ;) )

Agree with Novesh here, the 6 is definitely off center and you CAN see it from this angle.

Piratedzeus, hope you find someone in the EU (and if you do, PM me about who it is, as I'm looking for a fixer myself). How about trying some vintage watch smith guy? How bout an older Asian watch smith in some sort of Chinatown district, he might understand?
