Alligoat, Does this vendor sell Branded bracelets? They look very nice, yet I'm in need of branded bracelets...Thx, mcotter

Thanks Preacher, Your system seems quite correct, I'll give it a try. Although it would seem like a 2nd pair of hands is in order. I appreciate your input! Regards, mcotter

You're going at it w/ too much intensity! Spend time studying the piece you are emulating, get to recognize the effect you're after. Rarely does a dial look as "baked" as yours does.The insert looks like you've gone at it w/ abrasives. An aged faded insert is "gentle", not like its been draged behind your motorcycle! There are many "tutorials" on aging, read many & practice,practice, practice.......You'll get it w/ time. ( sorry if I've been too harsh on your efforts,) This forum has many very talented "Agers" If that's a word who will chime in I'm sure. Regards, mcotter

A very handsome result,your detailing is superb! How do you change the crown profile? The logical use of a lathe I'd guess ? Although you mention your Dremel, it would seem that you'd have to turn the crown while grinding,beveling w/your Dremel? Thanks for your input,I so enjoy seeing your work! Mcotter

Great news! Roland Kemmner came through & my "Bund" is on it's way......Best, mcotter

Thx FxrAndy, I too know of these resources yet not able to get it done...Again thx, mcotter

In search of a Heuer Bund rep, I'm aware of the Ebay seller w/ them ( no response to questions) Also Kemmner in Germany who I asked for an invoice? Striking out..Any help appreciated..My thanks, mcotter@skbk.com

Whoopy, I've had some success fabricating blanks from sheet brass w/ a fly cutter & drill press. I know finding quanity in proper size on a custom basis should not be that tuff, soldering feet is another matter. I've made a few paper transfer dials w/ good success & cutting perfect circles w/ a blade installed compass is a breeze. I believe that a red 1680 dial w/ have the biggest audience...I'll watch your progress w/ much interest....mcotter

JB, If you wish to borrow a datewheel...Need to know if plastic or saphire, let me know....Regards, mcotter

Gents, I have a 45mm. rad coming from Getat & wish to have a "Rolex" dial as in the historic Pam/Rolex colaboration. The problem is where can a dial be had? There are a number of reps in this format yet all appear to be the 47mm. size.case which is too large for me. Ive had the artwork done in proper size yet where to go from here eludes me! Thanks in advance for your help & wisdom.....Happy Easter, mcotter

A few days ago on one of the forums there was a strap discussion where a member suggested "Dangerous9straps" & furnished a link. I toured the site & loved his work. Now my computer skill has failed me again....No can find. It's a german craftsman w/ amazing skill! Thanks in advance for your help.....Regards, mcotter

Justin, May your recovery be w/o complication & your downtime be loaded with thoughts of ways for you to continue your wonderful watch adventures! Based on all these well-wishes you have an army of fans! Regards, mcotter

Kurt are looking for a service assignment? If so I have a Daytona which needs servicing..Please advise thanks, mcotter@skbk.com

That case was intended to house a 21j faux chrono.Years ago I purchased one w/ a vintage Daytona dial & pushers that change day/date only. It's 40mm, 20mm lugs unlike a vintage daytona which is 38mm w/ 19mm lugs. I had the dial redone in all white/silver, put a jubilee bracelet on it...It looks like a steroidal vintage Daytona...Regards, mcotter

Another viable option is "International Dial Co." in Ohio....Yes M, KR did transform a current Daytona dial into a vintage! Regards, mcotter

That no crownguard sub is available from the Trusted dealers on this site for less than half of what those dealers are offering! The trusted dealers are trusted for a reason They provide this membership Excellent value, service & fine products! Use them! Regards, mcotter
