Re: A Word of Caution...
In Response To: A Word of Caution... ()

: Changing the dial on your watch will
: technically make it a
: "frankenwatch", since your model
: number will not correspond to the dial on
: the watch. Omega frowns on this, and you
: will not find an authorized Omega service
: center that will swap dials for you for this
: reason. You can have an independent
: watchmaker do it, but this will void any
: remaining warranty you have on the watch.
: Further, you'll need to have the original
: dial re-installed if the watch ever needs to
: be serviced by Omega, since they do not
: service "frankenwatches".

: If you're comfortable with this, that's fine.
: Just a word of caution in case you are
: concerned with maintaining your factory
: warranty (assuming the watch was purchased
: from an authorized retailer).
