  1. Does anyone here have a spare dial back plate for sale with feet and secs at 9:00 for a Luminor 44mm manual wind, PreV to F series (001A-F,111d-f, 113d-f) 118, 036 etc, etc)?

    Preferably not a DSN as they are a little big for my case, but for a standard EL or cartel case...

    Any tips for finding one of these suckers would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers! :victory::clapping:

  2. Thanks for that... Yours looks great!!!

    I believe this dial is a DSN and the date wheel is Lello, so maybe it is just the alignment that will be fixed up as soon as the part comes in from ETA.

    Can you read your date easily when you're wearing it? I have to move the watch all over to read it, I know it's partially due to the misalignment, but I hope it's much better after the fix. :unsure:

  3. Hi Guys...

    I just got this beautiful 27A recently and it's gone to my watchsmith for a dial change.

    The watch tested to 50m waterproof, keeps time well and looks pretty great. I may get another dial down the track if I can, or possibly turn it into a 28 depending on my mood.

    One thing that has to be fixed is the date change mechanism, apparently there is a fine spring in the mechanism that needs replacing...

    The main thing that I see needing fixing is either the cyclops, or the date wheel, not sure which at this point... The date seems too big for the cutout on the dial, and the cyclops seems too small, or maybe a combination of both. Either way, it's too hard to read comfortably and seems to be a dead giveaway...

    Maybe someone here can offer some advice based on this photo, or if more views are needed, please let me know. I tried to get a shot as dead on to the center of the dial as possible, and then one straight onto the date wheel:
