Ahh, running into Omega dial problems? This seems to be the weakest part of the watch. I have a SMP and the second markers are quite inconsistent in their thickness. Nobody can see this of course unless the watch is 4 inches from their face and they look real hard, but it is an annoying thing nonetheless. I would recommend taking it in to see if you can have the dust removed or even get a replacement. If it is going to be a hassle and take weeks to get the watch serviced, I would just live with it. In 6 months you probably won't think much of it once the novelty of the watch has worn off. Omega does have issues with their dial quality control so you are not the only one dealing with this.
