boneyjr 1 Posted May 14, 2012 As you will see from the pictures below, I purchased a few gen parts to franken my planet ocean. Among the parts is a gen dial. However, it didn't take me long to notice that something was up with the 7 and 11 markers on the gen dial. It appears as though something has been glued on top of the lume portion. What the hell is going on? has anyone seen this? I don't want to return the dial until I can make sense of it. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardMiami 4 Posted May 14, 2012 Boney... I am no expert, but I don't think you need to know how they screwed that up... I would send it back immediately, You have an extremely compelling case with those very good photos. Get it exchanged for the perfect dial you wanted, or at minimum get your money back - plus shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping that the lume markers just have protection on them that could be removed or something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneyjr 1 Posted May 14, 2012 Fuck! Are you sure it was a gen dial? Those markers are seriously fucked up. Sure enough it was gen. It looks like that actual markers are below whatever the hell is on top of them. Other than those markers, the dial is a thing of beauty... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1108 0 Posted May 14, 2012 Now you know why it was on the Bay.... Send them the pics immediately and ask them WTF ? Don't leave feedback yet. They should send you a replacement or your money back... The edging around the lume is messed up (bent and not smooth like the others) - I don't think you could even re-lume this and have it look right. Just my opinion - I wouldn't mess with it. Order parts thru Cousins UK or another Omega supplier. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think a modder could fix this? Or perhaps replace the lume markers from my rep dial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneyjr 1 Posted May 14, 2012 What a jackass that did that. I bought it from a guy on ebay. I am guessing he is the jackass. I am going to take it to a watch shop to see if it can be repaired. I hope the dial doesnt get destroyed in the process... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stewzzy 0 Posted May 14, 2012 that is crap! Definetly someone butchering the affected lume markers. I suspect that they have tried to remove the lume but realised how much damage they were causing so they have cut plastic to fit the markers and refit with glue. Probably thinking "ohhh well I will fire it onto ebay, someone will buy it" bastards! email them and say you want a refund. Why is ebay such a heckhole of con artists just trying to pam off second rate goods! hope you get this sorted as it will be a cracking touch to your watch.

boneyjr 1 Posted May 15, 2012 Guy responded to me.. said he notices that the markers were loose so he tried to fix them himself... dipshit glued them on upside down. I asked for a 50% refund... see if I can do the work myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneyjr 1 Posted May 15, 2012 How much did you pay for this garbage? regards g.man I got a really good deal on it (it came with gen hands, gen crown and gen He valve). I contacted the seller and he said he would take a full return, or refund 50% of my money if I want to try and fix the dial. I am going to take it to a local watch guy and see if he can swap replica markers for the 7 & 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
