Ahh, yes.  My eyes aren't what they used to be...

 

Unfortunately, I think a dial replacement may be your only choice.

Ask the td's to source you a dial :)

Repainting is not a option, you need a new dial

Happened recently to my Pam 111 dial. So a new dial is on order and the only way to go.  Contact a couple TDs to see if they can source you one.

Holy crap that's bad mate, just out of interest does the movement move at all when you are manually winding or pullingthe stem in or out? Only asking as that looks like the dial may have rubbed agaisnt the rehaut and scrapped off the dial paint, dont want you fitting a new dial and the same thing happening again, need to find out  why it's happened before fitting a new dial ok

Happened on a Noob GMT Master 2 that I opened to service it for a colleague that got it from Toro through me. The moment I took out the movement from the case, part of the paint remained attached to the case, detaching from the dial.

Asked Toro and bought a new one for like 45$ shipped or something like that.

It depends who you're dealing with :) 

If you do a mistake on a watch that is not your, then you have to fix it with your own money. But in a case like that it wasn't a mistake of me but a bad painting process from the factory, and the owner of the watch understood it and paid for the new dial. But he is a grown up manager, not a 17 years old selfish guy... Personally I've read people here that I'd never ever want to deal with because they simply have unrealistic expectations, and that means troubles :)

It's not too difficult to do, movement out hands off dial off and reverse, gosh that sounded simple didn't it, type of thing I say to the missus just before a simple job "will only be half hour luv" 3 hours later im still at it, anyway I digress, its not a difficult job to do, have you a rep friendly smith in your area, you will find some that will refuse to work on reps ok
