Love the dial [emoji12]

Lovely dial. Did you relume it yourself?? Can I also ask where you got your spring bars from? Gen? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm in for a couple of pairs too if anyone manages to get them

What dial is this? Stock or redial? It's a refinished dial on a singer plate. I've got another one that I'm going to sell in the sales corner

Thanks Rick, that's making me think I might stick to a 36 then! Would be interested to see your finished 5513!! -
So here's the dilemma. I have a yuki dial ready to fit and need an ETA movement. I've searched high and low for a 2846 and low beat 287X and I have pretty much given up. I want to move the build on with a 24 or 36 as they are readily available and then switch to low beat if one ever comes available. I know that most of the cartels are available with a 36 but I would like to fit a TC 2824 if possible. The main problem I can see is the stem height to dial. Would this be an issue? Is there a mod I can use to fit it? Any info would be appreciated!!

Nice dial, where did you get that from? It also looks like the grove in the bracelet link to the sel is missing? How did you get rid of that?

Anyone tried a 300 or 302?
-
How did you get on?? Can you confirm which one of the 2 sizes you picked?? 300 or 302?
-
I think it could be salvageable. See if a local engineering firm can spark erode it out for you
-
I would like to buy one too if you have any others spare?

Still have not received the replacement bezel Assy from the TD [emoji853] have posted a request in the WTB section in the hope that someone has some spares in their parts draw
-
The retainer is nice and tight but the bezel is coming of at the clip in point. It must be a tolerance issue between the retainer and bezel. Would really appreciate a retainer ring if you have one spare. Will pm you. I have gone back to the td and he said he sent me a replacement bezel set but that was 2 months ago so I'm guessing it's lost in the post!! Thanks for the info

I've got the same issue with my great white, seems to be a common problem with the new cartel case sets ....... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now there's a question!! Thanks for the advice. I was trying to think of a way to burr either the bezel or retainer to make an interference fit but I can't see that being an option. This seems to be a common problem with the new cartel case sets....... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Received my cartel 1665 last month with a poorly fitting bezel that pretty much falls off in my hand each time I touch it. Apart from an expensive phong assy, does anyone have a source for a replacement cartel set (retaining ring & bezel) or a decent, reasonably priced after market assy??

+1 on the 1665 dial - I'm looking for a decent one for a new build

Thanks frazzle- I'll give it a go

I've been looking for an athaya 702 crown and tube- I've checked the website but can't see them. Also checked their eBay store but no luck either. Anyone know where I can get them from??
