Omega 14775 dial

I’ve never had a dial redone. The only time I can see this being a valid option is if a watch has sentimental value. Otherwise it’s always better to be patient and wait for an example with a better, original dial.

If this is a watch you already own and you’re looking at having the dial redone just make sure you see examples of their work before you proceed. Specifically, I’d want to see examples of similar dials to yours to ensure they have a good match for the font you need etc.

Finally, if you’re having the dial redone anyway, it may be worth first just having the lacquer removed and reapplied to see if the staining is on the top coat rather than embedded in the actual dial. Removing the lacquer will often take the dial print with it, but if you’re having it stripped anyway, this is a risk worth taking as you may be able to salvage the original print.

If you're already looking at spending 275 quid I'd look at just finding another watch with a good dial, or if this watch has sentimental value take the dial off the good watch, put it on this case and movement then part out the rest of the good watch to mitigate your costs.
