Yet Another Rolex Explorer - Improved Dial

[jmb]

I have built a couple of Explorers using the "reasonably priced" dial from fleabay seller mahand1 and despite their flaws they made a nice looking watch. The only glaring defect (at least to my sometimes less than critical eye) was the numbers being inset a bit too much toward the dial center. I was very pleased and excited when the last dial I ordered seemed to have this issue addressed!!

Here is a "Feb" dial:

Here is the dial I purchased a couple of weeks ago:

It's surprising what a difference a little detail like this can make! I think for the price this dial offers a great "bang-for-the-buck" and makes a credible Explorer while taking pity on your wallet.

Agreed. Big improvement

They both look fantastic. I doubt you ever will, but should you ever need to sell one please let me know :-)

Great indeed.

A small detail to be sure, but it really does make all the difference

Huge difference! Well done.

Never gets old, and that new dial is terrific!

M, I don't think you can beat it for the money. I tempted to send the Tiffany down the road and keep this one. Decisions, decisions...

Nice job J!

If you're moving the Tiffany down the line, let Sidney Youngblood know!

I hate turning any of them loose but I'm 10 over my limit right now...
