·Hi all. No secret that I am a first time poster to the Omega Forums. I have been a member of TRF for almost a decade and usually just post in their Omega threads but I am in need of some core brand help that I am not sure I will get over there!
Recently I obtained a Mitsukohsi Dial/Hand package kit for a conversion project I wanted to do on my modern 3570.50 (watch purchased new in 2013). I purchased the full set of dial and hands in one bulk buy from someone who original bought from Offrei but never got around the doing the project. Attached is the receipt of the items when the seller purchased them from Offrei.
I sent the watch off the my local maker a few days ago. Today he says the dial is not fitting correctly and the hands wont fit.
Upon some research I see the hands are commonly a little too tight to fit and require some 'encouragement' by filing down the holes so they are ever so slightly bigger, as noted here in reply number 4

What I am confused about is the dial fit. In an email back it reads
"As for the dial, the dial feet are mounted in the wrong place. It causes the dial to sit too low and inhibits the functionality of the movement and the fit in the case."
The 064WK3052031 Dial is intended for Cal 1861 movement right, which mine is. Is there something else here that could be an issue or incorrect compatibility, or does he need to apply additional 'encouragement' to get the dial to fit.
Thank you in advance for any information you can supply. Desperate the get this going and back on my wrist as a panda!!
