dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Report 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 Posted September 12, 2011 Forget the Datewheel from Wholesale they are a piece of junk. Yelp white is ok and silver sunburst too.
dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks Tribal - What's wrong the Mr. Slimeball's date wheel?
HauteHippie Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 What's wrong is they come from Mr Slimeball... I have a silver MBW overlay if you want.
dbutlerman Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report 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?
HauteHippie Posted September 12, 2011 Report 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 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?
woof* Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Gen movement Cant wait to see this one!
Tribal Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Maybe I have a Silver datewheel for a 1575 in my Partbox. I let u know Edited September 12, 2011 by Tribal

Tribal Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks Tribal - What's wrong the Mr. Slimeball's date wheel? The printing sucks too grainy
