dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Just a quick question for the rolex experts. Is it every correct for a 1680 to have a white Date Dial? I have a good lead on a movement but the date wheel is in bad shape. I was going to get a replacement date disk from Wholesale Outlet 990 on ebay. They have white ones with Flat Top 3's and open 6's & 9's, I am just curious how wrong that'd be...BTW, this would be on a white dialed 1680, not red...

Tribal Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Forget the Datewheel from Wholesale they are a piece of junk. Yelp white is ok and silver sunburst too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks Tribal - What's wrong the Mr. Slimeball's date wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 What's wrong is they come from Mr Slimeball... I have a silver MBW overlay if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hey Chief - This is going into a 1570 movement, so no overlay for me. Thanks though. Anything physically wrong with the Slimeball version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Ok I missed the fact that you're using a 1570. The quality normally sucks from Slimeball, from what I have always been told. I think it's best to obtain a 1570 with silver DW already intact.

dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks Chief! That's my goal, but I have a really good lead on one with a silver date disk, but there is a bad scratch on the 11th & 12th. twice a month isn't that bad right. Just don't where it on the 11th-12th?
