danielv2000 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm looking for some sterile dials or no name dials. I had hoped to order some alpha watches as some gift gags but am having some difficulties. Worst even, I'm looking for white GMTs, subs and explorers! All white!!! My plan now consists of ordering a bunch of 21j and swapping out the Rolex dial for some sterile or no name. Even better, anyone know someone who makes custom dials? Obviously, on the cheap! Alternatively, how easy is it to remove the Rolex branding on a dial? I've seen some guys do it but have never attempted it. Thanks ahead for your help!

JoeyB Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Otto Frei has blank dials to fit ETA, about $4 each. The date wheel lines up to the ETA datewheel, but not Rolex. Then a water slide decal and your printer and you can do most anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yep. You can find water slide decals on line or at hobby shops. They come in inkjet or laser, clear or white because inkjet doesn't print white. Obviously you can print anything. I use my photo program to do all the work, sizing, all of it. If you have a Hobby Lobby near you they carry them under the Testor name for model cars and planes, etc. You can print a 40% off coupon on line and it costs about $7. To seal the decal after printing the best is 'Krylon crystal clear'. It is compatible with the ink and dries quickly. Comes in gloss, satin and flat. Takes a little practice, but works very nice. Over $6 at Hobby Lobby but $3.59 at WalMart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
