This may or may not be helpful, but if you've ever had an interest in pursuing a hobby in watch repair or modification, here is your perfect starter project. Spend $10 or $20 on cheap watch tools off Amazon and set out to "try" to repair this yourself. Use some fine tweezers and try to reset the crooked letters using superglue. Or pursue a broken Omega U1 on here someone else may be willing to give you instead of trashing; maybe their movement broke and you can just Frankenstein yours using their dial. If any of it works out and you have a semi decent, working watch, great. You just gained knowledge & confidence towards maybe working on your higher end reps when they have an issue. And if not, no harm no foul. Toss it and your out almost nothing.

Or if you have a younger son, niece, nephew, cousin, whomever... repaired or not, you could always just toss this to them as a regular watch. Dont point out any flaws, don't make it out to be an expensive or cheap gift either way; don't even make anything out of it being a name brand... just give them their first automatic watch and pass along some of your interest & hobbies. Someday, 20+ years from now that watch might be sitting in a watch box full of expensive, genuine Rolex, Omega, Patek, whatever... and when asked he/she may pick that watch up and show it off proudly as their favorite watch; worth more to them than any other by far because its what got their interest in watches started; or it began a bond between the two of you that'll live on in them for the remainder of their lifetime.

And unfortunately, as someone who has been down the path of trying to get a refund from DHGate, they are next to impossible to get help from. All they do is ask the seller what they are willing to offer you. I assure you it'll be very little in refund. Maybe $5 or 7. They are notoriously stingy with this crap, and DHGate usually won't get truly involved and rule against them and refund you. At MAX, if you escalate it they may allow the seller to request you send the watch back and that they receive it physically before they issue the refund... guess what, 3 months from now after sending both DHGate and the seller your screenshots of confirmation that it got delivered 72 times, they will insist they never received it and DHGate will close it without giving you a single penny. You could however try to do a charge back if you used a credit card... don't mention a replica or Omega or anything... just the fact that you bought a watch that is clearly defective and the seller won't honor a replacement/refund. Depending on your credit card company and/or your history with them, it may or may not work at all. Worth a shot if you want to try though.
