Omega cal 503 part needed

[Fstop2100a]

Just came back from total restore and wanted to make a small adjustment but when opened I found the screw cut off with no slot . So I need a new part. It's been a year restoring it and I don't really want to send it back to the guy for like the fifth time. He's two months before he even looks at things. Here an image of it now and before ! See the difference! Help

That's a shame... For what it's worth I never use the swan neck adjuster - I just move the regulator itself. It's a friction fit, which allows the watch to be adjusted while leaving the pointer centred so it looks nice for the customer :-)

So although your watch man has bodged your watch, you can still adjust it, albeit with more care...

Ok I'll try but 6 seconds a day is quite fiddly on course adjuster?

6 seconds a day is good. Wear it for a month or so before you adjust as it often takes time for the watch to 'Settle'.

Wow, that is beautiful and clean.  I don't even care what the dial and case look like.

I looked up the part number you need and the image shows the screw already in place? So it's possible by ordering the spring that maybe the screw comes with but the screw is also available as a separate part. Then fortunately this part goes back to the base caliber 500 and looks like the interchange with basically most of the 500 series.

Then if your watch is fast by 6 seconds I wouldn't worry about it Omega has a specification for this watch anywhere from -1 to +21 seconds per day average in three positions over 24 hours.
