I just noticed my new PO's dial is 1/2 a sec. off

I just bought a used Omega PO (Pumpkin Bezel). Something has been bothering me ever since I strapped her on and i just figured it out. The dial is 1/2 sec. too far to the right. I bought her cheap.

> Can an off-centered dial be centered?

> Cost to center?

I'll take pics of my new baby and post tomorrow.

Yes.

That depends. If you're paying a watchsmith to do it... If they have a standard fee, you're looking at that at least. It would be much quicker and easier and cheaper to do it yourself...

All you need to do is remove the movement from the watch, tweak the dial into the proper position, then replace it in the case. If the dial is off-center because the dial feet are in the wrong place (and you can't 'tweak it' by hand) then you'd need to remove the hands, remove the dial, snap off the dial feet, then place a couple of very small tags of double-sided tape about 2mm x 2mm) in the center of the movement (not touching the datewheel) then position the dial in place over the movement, and press it down onto the tape. Then just replace the hands, and put it back in the case :) Simple as that, and really not worth paying someone else to do :) Best of luck :good:
