    Do you want to replace all the markers on your Constellation? ::confused2::

    The black part of the markers on your watch is paint.

    Can’t you send it in to Omega to refinish or replace the dial

    Idk if a hairline crack can be fixed...I believe the paint can be cleaned off and i'd just need new "plain" hands...i had that thought with the paint myself already...

    Or you can buy a bad dial then transfer the markers to your dial.

    From the image you posted, I can't see the crack. If it's stable, I'd just leave it as that dial looks very nice.

    Looking at the first photo I wonder if the "hairline crack" is fact flaking lacquer. There is lot of flaking lacquer on the rest of the dial also. I wonder if the lacquer can be removed and the dial re-laquered without affecting the print on this dial model.

    Agree. The entire dial looks to have issues with the lacquer.

    @El Mago - I realise you say you've checked, but can you see that the dial is cracked? Can you see bare metal?

    Yes I can see it...but only with a loupe...I know that it has some "issues"...i actually like that patina/surface....its more about that crack...but as commented before ...i should probably just leave it as it is...i'm maybe a bit overreacting...the movement runs very well and the case is in a good unpolished shape
