One4adventure Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 So far I have ; older MBK I case ETA 2846 movement Clarke tropic-19 crystal Need some advise on the dial Yuki or ingod? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps22 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Don't know about the case and if it is gen spec or not, but Yuki has the 5513 dial with eta feet that would work well with the 2846. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a note back from Ingod44 confirming his dials are not ETA compatible. So I guess that's a decision made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Well, you could always remove the dial feet and make ingod's dial work with your 2846. That's by far your best option and exactly what many others have done, myself included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the Yuki meters first will be ok as it comes with hands and free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 forget the yuki hands. theyre the incorrect thickeness to the point of being obvious as not original. the second hand is also the incorrect length. TC hands are your best bet yukis second hand is the most inaccurate of the set Clarks -GEN - Yuki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here's my MBW build, an Ingod 5512 dial with probably Clark hands...I forget but I like Ingod dials more than Yuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps22 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I agree that ingod dials are better than Yuki dials. I have an ingod dial for my 1655 build and the quality is much better than most rep dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 how to secure the dial to movement? Adhesive presumably, I am having a difficult time finding details. 3M double sided scrap booking tape OR GS Hypo cement i prefer tape as the cement gets stringy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One4adventure Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Another issue, The Clarke tropic 19 is about .008" smaller than the case diameter. I'm worried it will crack if I try to press it on. Next option would be to freeze the case and warm the crystal to attempt a shrink fit. Anybody attempted to polish the case? The case is the coveted mbw that i picked up from Eurotime a couple years back. I want to keep it water resistant. Thanks, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 you mean the retaining ring is too tight to fit down completely? sand the inner diameter of the ring, about 10 rotations with 400grit should get it and still keep it water tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 never had that problem. use a crystal press it will 'snap' on with a satisfying sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
