    New dial feet

    I have a Omega Dynamic ladies watch where the dial feet are missing and glue is used to secure the dial. Not a good solution. Are there someone that can help me solder on new feet? I'll service the movement my selves, but I don't have access to a solder machine for the feet and I won't be using it enough to justify buying one.

    You could always use the replacement sticky dots?, I put these on a watch I was building, help the dial lovely, with no movement at all.

    Great, thanks. I sent Christian a mail. I prefer to have proper feet over dial dots as it's a more durable solution.

    You could also buy dial feet and glue them with 2k epoxy

    Mike, what are the sticky dots you're referring to? Sounds useful...

    I think these are what he was referring to, just been looking them up myself!

    Yes, that's what I did on a 60s Constellation. The dial feet needed modding a bit to fit, but having a large surface area on the base enabled them to stick OK. A VERY tricky job to do; getting them in the correct position is difficult and I wouldn`t fancy doing another in a rush. A better solution than using the sticky pads, though.
