There might be a group but soon so I will have Z ask how much for the 6541 case. I have no idea what the dial sizes are... You can research that.

Awesome collection! Very extensive. I love them all, I can't tell which other than the 1675 and daydate are gen but you have a very very nice group. I think you might need a 6538 soon

I'm not really sure why you are making things hard on yourself, Natalie has the case http://ndtradingcorp.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=173 If you want a 6541 then buy that case, not a 6538 case... and your dial will fit no problem. The earliest 6541's came with the solid bezel that you like, but most with the turning bezel. If you want a 1019 dial look on vrm there are a few. But focus on one thing and try to execute it in the easiest way

The case you're using is 36mm it won't work for the dial you have. If you want a vintage milgauss with a smooth bezel why not the 1019? You can find the gen dial for a fairly reasonable price. The build is kind of impossible with what you have. I would start selling off what you have and buy the stuff you need slowly.

Ndt dials are not 100% original refinished. And you can't call them gen. You can't even call them refinished

"The 1680 is a pity because it has a mk1 crown with mk2 text and the word "submariner" in a mk2 must be printed in red over white (the mk1 was printed only in red" Thanks, I didn't notice that. That is a shame!

So I checked up on these dial variations and from what I can see the red sub is a mark 2 and the drsd is a mark 4, the coronet looks about right for a mark 4.

Done, thanks Admin for all the hard work!

I agree that the sd crown looks funny, maybe that was a variation?

I don't know why they cost so much aside from the plate used.. The 6538 dial that he's making for me is 875£ but that's a gilt dial with a difficult process.

Hey guys, I'm making a 4 line 6538 dial with my new dial maker and he mentioned that he has a couple of dials for sale. One is a double red and one is a red sub. I don't know if they look good or not because I have no idea what they should look like. Anyhow 750£ each, I know I know, it's a lot of money. They are made using original plates. Just an offer..

Thanks, the reason it holds up is because it's under a layer of lacquer. If this was a printed dial it wouldn't have worked. I kind of thought it would be ok as long as I was gentle

Thanks! Really had nothing to lose.. This is how it will look under a crystal, I'm digging it.

Big diff!

I picked up this old 6536-1 dial from vrm last week partly because the seller called it ugly and partly because it was cheap. Anyhow it ended up being pretty bad in person. I have heard back from 2 dial restoration company's, Kirk rich being one of them and Bob Ridley the other. They both said that after inspecting the pictures I provided that the dial was beyond a good cleaning.. It would have to be redone. I asked if there was any way to save the dial and just clean the crud off because I like the dial itself. The answer I got was no, the dial would be ruined in the process of cleaning it. The crud was too 'baked' on in their opinion's. So I decided to try cleaning it myself. I figured the worst that would happen is that I would ruin it and just have it redone. I took some canola oil which was the only oil I had, and gently covered the dial with it. Slowly but surely the "stuff" would loosen up and with the help of a handful of qtips I managed to get it all off!! It took a few hours but now it's all gone and the dial looks much better. I had no idea that it would work but I'm so glad that it did. Now to find a case and all the rest. The pics are mixed up but I'm sure you can tell which are before and after

No lol, not even close

I'm a big dog lover, I have 2, so I can relate to the bond but I can't possibly imagine just how strong it must be for them. Hats off to the dogs and their human leaders, I have so much respect for them. Thanks again for sharing. And yes, I saw all of that in the doc, injuries, frostbite, and so much more. It's absolutely amazing to see. The guy in the phot was the guy that won I think, he's a machine.. He would get up and head out on 2 hrs of sleep, the others couldn't keep up

Thanks for sharing, I can't believe how brave these guys are, risking their health for a race. Amazing. I saw a documentary about the ididarod, not many finished and those that did, were doing it on sheer willpower, I couldn't believe what it took.

Amazing! N is that the ididarod or just a local race?

6538

Fake

Yes, I can do that

Sounds good to me

I need this http://ndtradingcorp.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=262
