Hi fellows. I hope you can help me in this one.
Since I sold my gen 1016 a year ago I've been looking for a rep, to fill that huge empty place in my watch box and my heart.
As the reps available are not as good, I 'm thinking of building one. That is to say, ask my watch master do it for me.
I have a Datejust case and movement (Swiss ETA) I ned a dial, hands, crown, tube, crystal and bracelet. Since gen dials go from $ 1.500 to $ 4.000K I think I'll go for a refinished one, that can be bought for a lot less. There are few in the bay but I don't know the diameter that will fit the case. I cheked nd there are some that have a 26.2 mm diameter Is tat the standard for the vintage Explorer ?.
I know this is going to be a long time project, but I want to start wi this first monthof the year.
I'll very much appreciate your suggestions.
Cheers !!!
