What's your little man telling you? Do what the little man says, so you can both sleep at night. Your money, your little man, your peace of mind. Level of unacceptability is purely subjective and it's your opinion (and money) that matters most. You can see the opinions range from one end of the spectrum to the other. The only right answer is what you decide.

This is a missprint of my moon to Mars.. I didn't buy it new so I have to live with it
Looks like there was something on the dial or on the tampon when the printing was done. Even though you bought it second hand, I would at least ask them to replace the dial under warranty when you send it in to Omega for service, as this is clearly a defect from the factory - worth a try anyway.
In my experience, dial printing errors are pretty common. Here is one on a chronograph where the top of the sub-dial and the outer tracks don't line up...
Fibers in paint is a recurring theme, this one on a dial:
But date indicators have this problem too:
Shown this before, but in terms of the hand alignment...
They...
I've also found defects in lume quite often, so this was a dark spot in the lume that was bugging me on this watch:
I thought it might be just on the surface, so I carefully tried scraping it off, but it was clear it was deep in the lume:
I removed it the best I could:
And filled the hole that removing it left behind:
I have similar photos from other brands by the way. These are all Omega, but not all the Omega defects I've documented by a long shot. I don't bother taking photos of them anymore unless they are particularly egregious...

You really do incredible work Al, we need you south of the border!
I was going to post a defensive reaction something to the effect of "No, get your own Al...", and then I realized we are quite safe keeping him as I do believe he is quite happy in this lovely country of ours... 😉
Lol fair enough. But NY for one could really use him. I believe in quality over quantity.
I'll just point out that I service watches from all over the world...and that includes from 45 of the 50 US states so far...
If we are speaking in terms of trading hockey cards (not baseball up here...sorry) collecting the full set, then in the "got it" and "need it" conversation, I need:
Delaware
Idaho
North Dakota
Rhode Island
Wyoming
So I have the "difficult" states in terms of geography - Alaska and Hawaii, and I even have PR...but need the above 5 to complete the set. 😉
Does this pic mean that you service the 3313 Co-ax movement? I ask out of curiosity since here in the UK STS now won't do these as they say that Omega insist they go to the UK OSC in Southampton.
