D999SS Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 I'm starting a new project this summer and first thing I want to do is swap out the dial. Where would I find a GEN 048 dial?
D999SS Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Posted June 27, 2010 Well, it must be hard to source this dial judging by the view to reply ratio. I have another question, where can I source a 22mm homage Panerai buckle in titanium or brushed stainless steel?
w0lf Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 I've never seen a gen 48/50 dial for sale and I've been trying to buy one for ages. During that time I've seen about 5 or 6 white dials for pam49 and one anthracite for pam70 for sale.
D999SS Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Posted June 28, 2010 Is this something that can be sourced from a grey market watchsmith?
w0lf Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Well if you know one, it doesn't hurt to ask but it is my understanding that most leaked OEM parts don't come from gray market but rather from loose PASCs or part-outs. When it comes to 40mm Luminor I think the latter is non-existent because there aren't many uses for a 40mm caseset and crystal, and parting out for just the movement & dial seems wasteful.
D999SS Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Posted June 28, 2010 Very interesting, thanks for the reply
