    Hello, I'm a total beginner when it comes to watches, so please excuse this if it's a silly question, but...

    I have a vintage Omega Seamster with a white dial which I love, but I love the look of crosshairs on these old Omega watches, is it possible for someone to add/print a crosshair onto my watch dial? Who would do this if so? Any ideas on price etc?

    I'm based in London, UK.

    Thanks for reading, Dan.

    A tongue in cheek solution.
    P. S. Don’t try it.

    My advice is to leave your current watch alone and find another with the crosshairs on it. Dials are a lot more complicated than they look, and doing it properly will not be cheap.

    Never paint the dial.

    As others have mentioned it will lower the value of the watch if you modify the dial. However, if the watch is already redialed or its in very poor condition, there may not be much drop in value. Post a picture of your watch and close up of the dial and others will chime in whether its already been redone.

    Don't. You will regret it.
    That is my advice too.
