··Omega Qualified WatchmakerMine went off to Omega for repair after taking a hard shot. Bezel split, and a crown chipped. Apparently it also tweaked the dial somehow but not sure. Got the quote today…. I need to go buy some e scratch off tickets. The dial is insanely priced considering it can likely be fixed. There was zero visible damage, which is why I assume maybe it twisted the feet or something, but they will only replace it. I know it is platinum but…. Ouch. It will likely come home and live in its box until parts start showing up available or I have spare cash. A lot of spare cash. I understand it takes specific tools to work on, which is why it was shipped off. but not sure what those are. Beautiful watch that I will get to look at on the shelf all the time now.
Unfortunately, big brands don't fix many things - they replace. So although it's very likely that if the dial feet have sheared off (most likely dial failure from a large shock) Omega will not even try to repair it. For them the only option is replacement.
Often the conversation around these watches is the cost of replacing the case, but on this one the dial is almost as much money as a whole new case is.
