  8. vietnam dial for ETA?

    Never tried UV-glue before. Do you use a special product or just an ordinary one?

    It is a special glue like what dentists use.

    Goes on and hardens up when you shine the UV light to it.

    Tight and hard adhesive. Easy to use with little mess, but the glue needs to be in plain site to shine the UV light. Can’t be hidden, else it will not harden up and stick.

  11. vietnam dial for ETA?

    Hi guys,
     
    I searched extensively the fora with no luck. Prior to firing a couple of emails to the vietnamese dealers (Minh, Ruby...), I am wondering whether they offer ETA foot dials more particularly for date subs. Yuki has got some but there is an issue with the DW that is not well located.
    Thanks for helping!

    Most good Vietnam sellers have gen spec dials and cases.

    Your best bet is to cut the feet and relocate them to ETA location, and solder or glue them there.

    They sell new feet as well if the ones that are cut are no longer good.

    Are they all running on ST19? or the last one is a converted Valjoux?


    Mine are all ST19. I might pick up a Valjoux one sooner or later. I don’t wear Daytonas enough in my rotation.

    I think most forum members have been warned about theSociety. His builds look awesome though. I haven’t dealt with him directly but buyer beware. Always know what you are buying before you buy it. Ask questions and seek expert help if needed.

    Ah thanks for sharing, the right pusher seems to sit a fraction lower than the left pusher. Correct me if im wrong.
     
    By the way, I really really like that 6265 tiffany dial, may I know where did you get it from?
     
     

    The level looks about the same to me. I know the subdial holes are a little off on the dial though for the ST-19. Slightly shifted hole positions.

    The Tiffany I got from my buddy, probably Vietnam dial aged.

    Yes, and im surprised that even some highly reputable dealers are following and liking his post. He looks like he is making a good living out of these and people are inquiring / buying into it.
     
    Well, when someone doesnt know much and wants a watch badly, but not willing to pay gen prices would surely subject to purchase from him. I guess you can see him as sort of like the next MQ / Phong?

    Just ST-19 frozen at 6. Movements

    I mean with eta movement, where you find a really good open 6&9 date wheel?


    Check out a DWO that a member named @calvin951121 on here, he made some decent roulette (red and black) with open 6&9’s for ETA.

    I think he was on this thread too.
