GarrettP1 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I saw a Rolex chronograph from the late 40's the other day.....2 register/subdial layout. Probably a Valjoux 23 movement. I've been trying since then to find someone who could replicate the dial, even if it's not entirely accurate. I just liked the styling of the watch. I've tried the usual suspects (International Dial, etc)....but no luck. Jewelryandwatch.com would make one....but $650 seemed a tad steep. Found a company in Israel that specialized in this, but they only will restore a gen. Rolex dial. Suggestions? Thanks, Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Garrett, I'm sure if you search enough you will find someone who will do a duplicate dial. I believe that the bigger dial refinishers such as International, Jurgens, etc. all have a pretty strict policy of only refinishing/restoring genuine dials and then only back to what they were originally. I know jurgens in their advertisements says this: PLEASE Don't ask for upgrading any Brand : Your dial must have the same name and design before , we do not print a red sub ( as a sample ) when it is a other dial.
