I hated this the last time I tried to answer this question.  The more I stare at them the more they all look the freakin' same!

No, I don't think that will be the end.  They run out of the white ones quite often.  They ran out last month, got some back in and a week later they were out of stock again!

Yeah, sometimes the white ones have the 3/6/9 spaced in too far from the edge.  It is a shame ingod went away but for an affordable dial Yuki is about it...

Does anybody have a guess as to what circa the Yuki matte dials are based from?  Got a couple of the yellow lumed ones on order (white is out of stock - AGAIN) and was curious as to what serial number range I should use...

Found 'em!  Have 3 of the buggerzzz...

Oh, sorry about the hijack. 

Don't have complete watches but might have a couple of the dials...

Have a '1675' from around 2005 with a swisseta 2836 that has  'OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE'  on the dial.  The word  'DATE'  should not be there.

 

I may have one or two of them in the box, I'll have to check.  They worth anything as a collectors item? 

Didn't MBW do that on a batch of GMT Master dials way back in the day?

Nanuq's answer was a bit more diplomatic than the thought that came to my mind..

Maybe an RSC used a rep dial?

Screen printing is not fine enough.  Dials are printed using a "pad-printer."

Like the aging!

I use a couple of aluminum dies I made and use a small machinist's vise instead of crystal press...

I've got a gorgeous gen silver linen dial with gold markers that would look look great in that, Goat!

Diameter wise it should fit and as long as the stem position will be close to the 2824 I guess it would be OK with a spacer.

I don't know, what diameter is a 1570?

I will be heading for the hills in about a week but when I get back (maybe in July) I'll crank out some case sets.

I can't believe YOU asked that!

It looks quite "domed" and would be nice in a 6350!

Mike,

Glad you have found something to keep yourself occupied.  I hope you are able to start writing again soon, I really need to see how the saga ends!

I've built one Day-Date from the rep case and the 2834 with plastic spacer for day wheel fit perfectly.

You CAN shave down a caseback.
 

I mill down Sub case backs all the time to engrave as Tudor but these 1 6200 case backs are much too thin.

I have a 36mm 'tooter' case that I got from JMB a few years ago...

Was that for a Date-Day?  They do have a pretty flat back on them...

Yes, Jmb's caseback is definitely too thick but, I suppose, there's nothing J can do about it as this is the one part of the case that cannot be shaved down.

Yeah, not much can be done as it is so thin.  About all I can do is slightly reshape kinda like a bubble back but the height stays the same.

I believe raffles has this case.
