Aldi sometimes has them in their aisle of random products, but you need to be quick.

Authentic vintage Omega dials exist on the market, but not at shops or other. To distinguish between the many offering of reprinted, washed, fakes, retouched, relaquered, vs the genuine ones - experience and knowledge is needed.

So, you either start studying , and seeing many online - or you ask two or three vintage dealers to search one for you. Of course they need to make a profit, so be prepared to pay the extra.

Costco has them now and then, but you have to buy a box of 100. It’s SO annoying.

Sorry that your request has provoked so much amusement, but seriously, when one of us find the source of an "original dial", it is very quickly snapped up, and that's done and dusted.

There IS no "go to" store/site for these items.

There IS the endless search of the internet for watchmaker estate sales, for trashy cases with pristine dials, for that rare "I've got an XXX dial I don't need" post. It sometimes take a few of us years to find a replacement dial, it just takes determination, patience and luck.

Ahhh......., you are the one that sold 98 Dials for Omega caliber 1010 on the Bay in the last 8 weeks. I thought, something fishy was going on....Good to know !

Make sure to get the right dial for the specific reference you are looking for; the dials can have different diameter and height according to the watch case they are meant to fit in.

What a lot of smart arse commentary (this is something I don't miss about Australia). The only stupid question is the one unasked, and I am glad Jim in Oz gave a sensible answer.
