Sherrington Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Thinking of a few up and coming projects and looking for the best Rolex re-dialler. Any ideas? I have looked at some of Michaels re-dials but I am not convinced they are accurate enough. Is there any better?
XRT Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 The only problem that I have with his redials has been the lume on the hour markers- they are too puffy (raised) compared to the lume on genuine dials. He will make any dial you request (I've had him make a 1680, 1665 COMEX and a black 6263).

thedoctor Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 I want the markers of my 1680 relumed vintage style. Is Michael the one to do it and if so, who the heck is he?

archibald Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 I would check with Joe. He can do what you want. Does he do Panerai dials? I'd like to have a black dial turned brown for a project I'm working on.
XRT Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Michael Young can be found at classicwatchparts.com He may take a day or so to get back in touch with you, so have patience. It can take up to 6-weeks to get your dial from them. Joe (RBJ69) also can do your lume and vintagizing...he has also done up a number of my vintage Rolex dials. If you want "raised/puffy" lume or not, he can work with you. Does he do Panerai dials? I'd like to have a black dial turned brown for a project I'm working on. ...yes and yes.
rbj69 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Posted March 23, 2006 and yes , lol i just cant take good lume pics and frankly havent tried lately but i will soon , i have been tinkering with coloring lume and other stuff, i will tell u this about the rolex dials i preferr the unpuffy look just because i like the way my genuine 1680 looks it was made in 1972 and shows slight age but well kept and i preferr that to the puffy look , to me the puffy look says redial to me not genuine , its all in the eye of the beholder, just giveing u my opinion, i have a few watches with the old tritium and none of them looked really raised/puffy like i see many people doing to there dials, im not saying there isnt any genuine dials with it but i would say majority r not and majority of the genuine owners prefer the not so raised look , as far as color goes i can do whatever floats your boat basically
thedoctor Posted March 24, 2006 Report Posted March 24, 2006 Can you post pictures of your genuine 1680? I have a MBW 1680 that's in need for lume.
