If it were me I'd take the 3861 and move on from the current watch. You could have it serviced and fixed and not have another problem with it but you may also have the frustration and concern about it in the back of your mind. At least, that's how my mind works, I tend to torment myself more than is necessary.
And so the saga continues!!
Having received the new 3861 sapphire a couple of weeks ago, today I noticed this!
I must be cursed or something. Omega, I give up. You win.
OMG, I just can't believe your bad luck. After all you've been through I would have thought that the Omega dealer would have triple checked your watch to make sure it was perfect in every way. I really do feel for you. If it makes you feel any better my first Omega, a Seamaster Pro from the early 2000s, had a small metal filing appear under the crystal at the 6 o'clock position after a few months. Thankfully it was a quick fix to remove it and it ran perfectly for more than 10 years before it finally needed a service.
And so the saga continues!!

Contacted Omega directly. 6-8 week turnaround, say they. Due to current workload in the So’ton workshop.
I think I’ll just keep it as it is, wait 4.9 years and then if it still bugs me, send it in for a service.
I would, once again, be asking for a replacement - they have supplied a watch with a clear fault that shouldn't have passed QC.
I get that mistakes happen, but asking you to wait 6-8 weeks to swap a dial in a brand new watch isn't really on.
