Please note that if they didn't change the dial or hands, this means that the dial and hands were fine in their view. It doesn't mean that they did as your watchmaker asked, as that is a very different thing. People often draw this conclusion, but it is a false conclusion.
As I've said countless times, Omega will not leave parts on the watch if they feel they will possibly cause the watch to come back under warranty. They will not repair parts like dials or hands, but will replace them if a replacement is available. Otherwise, the dial would get refinished.
As much as the dial on the OP's watch may "look fine" while cased in the watch, the specific testing Omega does at the edge of the dial to determine if the finish is peeling is done in an area that you can't see with the movement in the case. If they test the edge of the dial and it flakes, the dial gets replaced, no matter what you asked for.
Omega will (should) tell you if they are replacing the dial, sop there should be an opportunity to tell them not to do it, and send the watch back (provided everything goes as it should). But there is always a risk sending the watch to Omega, that you will get changes made to it that you didn't anticipate.
Some people are fine with this, and if so that's great. Ohers are not - the key is understanding what can actually happen, not what someone thinks happened.
Cheers, Al
