Why not? The hands are independent and can be taken off and on from the dial.
Hope your omega will come back like new. BTW, how much they quoted you?

Maybe it was heavily used as diver watch and had not cleanse it frequently.

Too bad the lume pip fell out.  Spoils the whole watch imo - I wouldn't wear it.

You will be amazed just how much human DNA can be found under the bezel, this one was from a BP aqualung that I restored. The 5513 shown here was still the only rolex I have after all these years.
