ubiquitous Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'm looking for some who can create a custom datejust dial..anyone here know of someone reliable? There are a few places in Texas, I believe... Don't recall their names off the top of my head (I'll have to look them up when I have my books in front of me), but they can re-finish your existing dial to specification.

I'd appreciate it if you could find out for me (and the rest of this board of course ) Edited March 22, 2006 by GhostfaceZX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Universaldials.com does custom dials, very beatiful and colourful, they aren´t very expensive either. Is that for a franken datejust? Regads, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regads, Manuel Thanks...the URL is actually universaldials.net It's not for a franken datejust - I'm just very disappointed with the dial I got on my datejust rep and want to swap it out for something of better quality.

Hmm..perhaps over time I might consider doing something similar. Are you sure the gen dial is going to fit a rep case? I thought I read about mods like gluing and making shims might be necessary.

I thought I read about mods like gluing and making shims might be necessary. No, I'm not looking for a gen or to make a frankenwatch. I'm just disappointed overall by the placement of the markers...they're totally off. I posted a thread on either the original rwg or trc showing the off-centered diamond markers and white dots. I'm having RBJ try to source one for me, but I feel bad about bothering him so much when he's so busy. I saw the work he did on one of his own datejusts and feel it's worth the extra $$ to make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
