cc33 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hey guys, I'm making a 4 line 6538 dial with my new dial maker and he mentioned that he has a couple of dials for sale. One is a double red and one is a red sub. I don't know if they look good or not because I have no idea what they should look like. Anyhow 750£ each, I know I know, it's a lot of money. They are made using original plates. Just an offer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Sub dial is pretty good (though I would relume it), but I do not like the crown or fonts on the SD dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 CC.. The subdial is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 That meters first sub is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I don't know why they cost so much aside from the plate used.. The 6538 dial that he's making for me is 875£ but that's a gilt dial with a difficult process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 The Sub dial is pretty good (though I would relume it), but I do not like the crown or fonts on the SD dial. I agree that the sd crown looks funny, maybe that was a variation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 So I checked up on these dial variations and from what I can see the red sub is a mark 2 and the drsd is a mark 4, the coronet looks about right for a mark 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torresp Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 WOW! Both are incredible dials, the double red is scary close to the gen MkIV! The 1680 is a pity because it has a mk1 crown with mk2 text and the word "submariner" in a mk2 must be printed in red over white (the mk1 was printed only in red) Seem he has the skills to make a 1:1 can't wait your 6538 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
