Thanks, Good sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Too much money! You need to try to get a genuine Rolex insert for a 5513- make friends with a watchmaker and have him order you one- it won't cost that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 And a genuine dial won't fit a replica watch case. A genuine 1665 dial will be 26mm and a rep dial probably 27-28mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Genuine 1665 dial fits the MBW 1665 fine. The genuine 1680 dial requires a slight trim to fit the MBW 1680. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkitesurf Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 The Timeman dials have a real bad misalignement of the Rolex 'L' under the coronet. Timezoneand Doubleredseadweller.com warn about this to look for in fakes. Kind of ironic to replace the dial with a expensive dial that actually screams fake/ the so called expert redial. Save your money. A real one is hard and expensive to come by and the added value minimal IMHO. Better to shape CG's, caseback and replace the crystal and a gen insert (which is also hard to come by).

Also I task that the dial of MBW is worth these dial, and is stupid acquire these. My problem is the bezel. In Italy is very difficult (impossible) to buy an original bezel Rolex into Rolex concessionary. I must try that one in Internet. In my search I have found AFTERMARKET bezel in Ebay for $ 30/40 (as Ofrei) or more, but me seems equal to that one of the MBW Who knows a site who sells GEN bezels?
