Gorilladame Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi! Actually I am looking for a 5512 dial, but I would like to have a more lighter, whiter look like this one: And I am not shure about the yuki one: I allready got a Yuki 1680 and it got this yellowish triton color: I also found this dial for 110$ shipped: The MBW might be the right color, but I am not shure if it is the overall right look... So do one of you know another source for a nice light white midrange 5512 dial, or even sell one right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I have the 1665 GWSD dial from MBW, it's an off-white- very slight yellow tinge similar to the pic of the MBW 5512. I think that's the closest to white you will get w/o going w/ a relume. Natalie at NDTradingcorp will make one custom for you but it's expensive. A $65 dial from ETZ and a $100 relume from Kent Parks??? I remember some of Miguel's pics of his MBW 5512 over at RG, you might check them out. Other than the fact that the MBW lume doesn't shine at all, I like the off-white color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 actually I don´t know if the dial with the case next to it is a MBW dial, found it on ioffer... ET is the only one how could get the MBW dials, right. I´m waiting for a watch from them since december 23rd and I would like to avoid waiting again... P.S.: by RG you mean...? sorry don´t know :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I agree with Alligoat. Select a dial & then have Kent relume it. Just make absolutely sure that Kent understands that you want the lume to be white (& non-glowing - 40+ year old tritium dials rarely have any glow left in them).

Gorilladame Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 so the printing on the last one (with the case next to it) is fine IYO? You guys see so much more that I just don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I would check with Yuki. They do have some dials with white lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Just did, they offered to custom made me one with white lume, sounds perfect for me... They will use this lume: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
