cib0rgman Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I know it needs a lot of work; I am planing to send this to the Master.
freddy333 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I would just clean off as much of the debris as I could & use the dial as-is.
cib0rgman Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Posted February 18, 2011 I guess it hard to tell for the picture but some of the Markers don even have lume is bare metal. specially the 12 O'clock. If I used as is I will need a really old insert and the case will have to look really old. What can I use to clean the Dial? Thanks for the comment
cib0rgman Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Posted February 19, 2011 Here is mounted on the movement, I need a set of Mercedes hands for a Chinese movement any ideas where to get those.
alligoat Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Ziggy can do wonders, and it's well worth the trip up and back. I personally don't go for trashed out look. He resurrected my 16800 matte dial including some inpainting of the matte black. And of course, I love good lume-glows at nite- on a rep/franken.

Thanks for the advice; as a matter of fact I already contacted him and he agreed to do his magic on this one. I am aiming for a vintage look but not perfect if you know what I mean. I till want the dial to look that it has some history. Ivan

You will need to measure the pinions (the posts the hands fit onto) & then search ebay (try Clarks) or 1 of the watch parts houses for generics 'to fit Rolex' (Ofrei, Julesborel, Cousinsuk, etc).
Mapman57 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Ken at Raffles time on ebay does Mercedes hands for modded Chinese GMT movements.....he might still be away. Do you want the 3 hand set, or the full 4 hand set? I have some 3 hand sets in the box? I think I bought his last 4 hand set................ Let me know if I can help.
Dizzy Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah i would clean it off, give it a light shot of matt clear, then send it off for vintage lume.
