In my book that would hardly call for a case replacement, especially where it is located. It's a pretty good ding but not something that would call for a new case. If it was mine I'd live with it and if it still bothered me in five years time or so when it was due for a service I'd address it then. Most likely at that point it wouldn't be that big of a deal to worry about.

·This case is stainless steel - that can be laser welded and refinished. Not by Omega certainly, but if this were my watch, I would have waited until it required a service, and had the case repaired by someone other than Omega...
Replacing a case for this is....a bit crazy...

someone paid 60% of the value of the watch to replace the case for that tiny dink?
why didn’t they laser weld it

·As I wear mine a lot I was concerned the bracelet was picking up scratches so wanted to keep it in good condition as it’s a rare thing. Saw this strap on a previous post so ordered one and it arrived today. It makes the watch face stand out so much more as the original bracelet was very shiny. Absolutely love the way it looks now.
