duke1973 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 That is a nice dial and it's on my watch list but I'm having trouble coughing up $500 bucks for dial..... On a side note, did you guys see the Deep Sea dial for sale on eBay? $700 bucks but it does indeed look gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hope I didn't over pay for my gen sub dial :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Did you pay $400 to $600? If so, that's the going rate for a modern 16610 dial w/luminova and in excellent shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Paid 400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 IMO, you did fine then. What hands do you use for your build to get the matching lume intensity? The last gen dial build I did I had to get a modder to relume a set for me so they would match the Rolex Factory Superluminova. And to be honest, they are close but nowhere near a perfect match..... The only other option I see is to buy gen hands (at an outrageous price) and then pay more to have them broached to fit the ETA m'ment.

highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Nice dial but pretty $ Mark Green at VRF is selling a really nice spider dial for 350$ I think. i find most people on VRF understate the actual condition on parts and pieces theyre selling, that member included. there is also this gen lumi 16610 sub dial for $400 asking, make an offer for $300 you ll get it for $350, good companion to that TC or sean case with clone movement http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Rolex-16610-Series-Stainless-Steel-Black-Submariner-Dial-Swiss-T-25-Mint-/280851233887?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item416409bc5f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Actually this one is a tritium dial, so you'd need a tritium insert and lugholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 I am going with a gen 3135 and gen hands for my sub build so hopefully they will do just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Oh yeah, you have that 3135 from your old datejust! You can make an awesome superfraken Sea Dweller! I can't wait to see this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
