You can check with Offshore. He may stock something that can help you with this.

Superglue...you stand a big risk of 'clouding' inside the crystal with the vapours (do pay more attention when watching C.S.I. )

Personally, for convenience , safety, & ease of use (with its inbuilt hypo needle applicator) the smallest amount of GS Hypo Cement

.

A gain of rice works for me..

I've used superglue several times in dial repairs/modifications, and as long as you let the glue cure with the dial de-cased, you won't have an issue with the fumes fogging the crystal (which will happen if the glue isn't cured and the dial is re-cased)

[cib0rgman]

So. super glue will be o.k. then

GS Hypo Cement would be a better choice, and the applicator on the nozzle is perfect for that job.

And a tad more forgiving

[offshore]

much more forgiving.

If you do use superglue, don't try and do it direct from the tube, or the drop will flood the dial area. Put a bit of tape on your work-surface, put a drop of glue on the tape, then use a toothpick to apply a tiny amount to the back of the dial marker (maybe hold the marker with tweezers or a rodico-tipped pencil for the application of the glue and the positioning). Best of luck It's a pretty easy fix to do, I'm still kicking myself that a few years back, I paid a watchsmith to do a similar thing when the lume came loose from the setting on my 16610 Sub We live and learn

Guys,

Thanks for the advice. I oppened the watch remove and juts pressed down the marker. hopefully I will not drop the watch again. Still is a delicate task.

those UPOs are damn nice but super-delicate

on mine, i had the Omega logo come off once & the hands have worked themselves loose twice

Glad to hear you got it fixed.. now you're just THAT more confident in working with your watch.. don't you love this game?
