··Oooo subtitles!If the crystal shows any damage then it’s pretty obvious this had a high g cause and it’ll be obvious to Omega too. That is the most likely explanation for a cracked dial. If it doesn’t then who knows. I wonder if the OP has any curious children or a partner who are whistling and walking the other way as we speak.

·Just curious, does anyone know how much a new dial runs for a ceramic SMP 300M (ie OP’s watch)?

·Ouch!
Wow 😵💫
If I look back to the earliest records I have easily available, and check dial prices - not a fancy ceramic but for a 90's Bond Seamaster, or the 22545000 dial, the dial for those has increased by 4.3 times over the last 13 years...

··Oooo subtitles!Although it reminds of the days when I used to work retail at a store changing watch batteries and doing minor watch repairs. I'll never forget the customer that we changed her Seiko dress watch battery. The next day or two she comes back with the watch full of water saying its our fault and that we did a bad job. Apparently she went straight home after the battery change and put the watch on the dresser, when she picked up the watch in the morning it was full of water. My boss ended up fixing it for free. My thought was that if this lady can fill a watch with water on her dresser, that's a great magic show. But the customer is always right...even when they're ripping you off.

·Not the first thread with this particular issue, OP confirms twice that the watch has no impacts at all and has been well cared...
But Omega enthusiasts cannot cope that info and blame OP instead.

I dunno whether to believe OP or not, but I do hope they report back...

·Was the watch rated for water resistance? If so then presumably it passed your pressure test and as such she could expect it to function as advertised. Changing batteries without a pressure test is asking for this kind if trouble. Unless you make her fully aware that water resistance can no longer be relied on that is.
Pressure testing ladies Seiko dress watches 30-35 years ago was not a common thing where I worked. Replacing the caseback gasket, crown gasket and regluing the crystal was something that was recommended but this was more often than not refused by the customer who just wanted a battery replaced for $2-$3. We used to change an average of 75 batteries a day and my best recollection is that less than 10% wanted to spend the extra money on ensuring water resistance. Times sure have changed...for the better in this regard...regretfully not in other regards.
