:What I mean is, if I bought a chronograph, would Omega

:colored?
No. Three issues:
1) Omega will NOT alter a watch like that. Based on the serial number, they can tell exactly how the watch was when it was sold. They will not mix and match parts of different versions for you.
2) Omega does not make the dials in any different colors than those that come on the watches as you buy them. If you don't like the dials that come on the model you want, you would have to have an UNAUTHORIZED watch repair person create a custom or repainted dial for you. All that would do is make your 'real' $1000+ Omega watch look like one of the cheap fakes that sell for $100!
3) Should you ever wish to resell it, your alterations would make the watch FAR LESS desirable to most buyers. It makes little sense to SPEND money to REDUCE the value of your watch.
So in other words, it really is a bad idea all around. If you don't like the watch the way it is, you should seek a different watch -- even if you have to go to a different brand to find what suits you best.
I'd rather see you wearing a nice Seiko than a f-ed up Omega.
