jmb Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I'm at a brick wall. I've been trying to build the wife a nice Ladies size franken and it seems everything I try to come up with doesn't work! First I tried to make a Ladies Oyster Perpetual (no-date) and discovered the dial was too small for a Ladies DJ case and I haven't found a correct case yet. I had a gen Ladies DJ case so I snagged a gen dial, I have ETA 2761 movements, but I can't come up with a date wheel overlay and the ETA date wheel only fills about 2/3 of the Rolex date window. So, I figured I'd do a nice Tudor Princess Oysterdate but so far the number of gen dials I've found have been zilch!!! Help me Obi-Wan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a water-slide decal might be the way to go with this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I've never seen a Ladies DW! What about the $39 special from silix http://www.silix-prime.com/rol009-p-843.html And then you take what you want out. Of course there's also the $20 shipping.

jmb Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I really want to use the gen case and dial and make a really nice LDJ Franken and if I can find a 24mm LOP case that will make for a really nice no-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 J!!! I remember buying a ladys Tudor dial a long time ago from Watchco, wanted to use the shield on another project, but didn't because the shield was too small. I'll have to dig around, but if I find it...it's yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 This DW overlay issues caused me to look pretty bad at anniversary time. I put the watch together and presented it but told the wife she couldn't wear it until I fixed the DW issue, several months later... Chi - That would be great, and if it's black my wife would be in watch heaven! I don't ever recall seeing any of the Tudor ladies dials on fleabay. If you still need a shield I have several Jumbo dials I doubt I'll ever find cases for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
