I have a 561 cal constellation and recently took it to the omega boutique in New York to have the hands fixed. The dial has a few blemishes (at the center and at 9 o'clock), and they found a similar dial and offered to replace it for $250. Do you guys think I should replace the dial? Thanks in advance! Original: Replacement:
Yes, especially as Kyle says. It is not a pie pan, so your not giving up much and that is a very fair price.
I'd leave it be. If you compare the two dials they really aren't that similar. The figures are thicker and the applied Omega symbol and script are considerably different on this replacement dial.
I think that is a modern service dial. I've seen a bunch like that sold by Watchco in Australia. I think it's made by a different company than the originals and Omega has changed the logo. I would have no objection so long it was correctly ID'd and the original dial is kept with the watch. Hope this helps, gatorcpa
