Just wanted to see if any has bought 7032 hands from MQ and if so what they thought. 

Are they gen spec size, better option then DW. 

As far as I know that is a general description of MQ, Phong and Tonnywatches. It is believed that they all use the same manufacturer. Tonnywatches has stated he is unable/unwilling to do small runs and one off items.
 
Not being sarcastic but define best. It depends how deep you want to go and how much you are willing to pay. Absolute best for dials is The Dark Lord, if you can interest him in making one, but it is a very expensive option. MQ dials are second tier, Phong's are bought in and vary. His Daytona dials seem reasonable. His sub dials aren't great IMO. Tonnywatches are very good for the money. 
If you read Hologramet's Tempus Machina project, it would seem that not only does Helenarou do small runs (five dials I believe), but the quality can be very acceptable if you have a design and set clear expectations.
Another possible is to look at a dial refinishing company. If you want Rolex on the dial, they will only do it on a genuine Rolex dial, but you could possibly get a damaged one and they are in the business of one offs.

Vintage watchmaker is Jensen, who is Phong's son. 

Phong is www.jewelryandwatch.com

MQ is http://www.vintagewatchesmq.com/

 

Perfect thanks.

Any idea who would be best for the job?

no idea how i would do the blue subdials texture. the ym dial can be done with decals though. will just need to add another layer of text/image on an existing dial.

I am firstly interested in the Yachtmaster dial.

I would prefer to have the dial completely pad printed or what ever way it would have actually been done.

Heres a better shot just for you @Mike on a bike 

But the question still stand who would be the best person to get to make the dials.

Liking the blue one Dino sharp, less is more...............

Blue is hot, but really!! love the yachting count down timer 

Blue one is also a prototype dial 

Hey Guys 

Need some help getting this project off the ground.

I would like to have a perfect Yachtmaster Daytona Dial Made for a V72 movement. 

Who do you think would be the best person for the job?

Would any one else be interested in one?

Mike did an amazing job for my TC V2 hands to match the gen 5513 dial's patina. I only sent him photos of my dial and the hands came out spot on!

Couldn't be happier.



a watch is meant to be worn

Sadly, Cwazy closed up shop a long time ago.
I used PBDad for my last lume job and it was done nicely.

PBdad did my 1016 as well:



Vac did my 3717:



 

 

Hey Guys,

Can't get a hold of Cwazy to get my 5514 dial lumed.

Would really appreciate recommendations on who to use.

If you have photos of the work please share.

Perpetually,

Dino

Hey guys,

Planing on doing a build with this dial I got

I need help finding a 6084, 6085 or equivalent rep case that would work.

As well as finding hands that would feet an eta movement.

Thanks for the help in advance

Uploaded the pic for you

Seller is asking $500 for it.

I would say that's a bit steep, it's defiantly a reprint onto a singer plate, a fairly good one apart from the flaws listed.

If you like the dial, try to get a better deal.

Apart from the red, the 6263 is a 3 liner dial

Like so

Can you tell us the source or price of the dial?

Can we also see the back of the dial and where did you get it from?

Also sins the word DAYTONA is in red, this would have to be for a stainless steel model 6264 or 6262.

Here are some more photos for reference and detail explanation.

Just compared with Daytona book. And it does look pretty good.

Only thing I see wrong, is the spacing is off in DAYTONA and numbers need to be a bit thicker

Here a example from the book.

As already stated, I would go to MQ.

Thanks guys!

I just email him

I'd try Mq as a starter if you want the best www.vintagewatchesmq.com

Cheers DH

Thanks!

Are those gen or rep dials?
