droptopman Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Good morning, As previously stated I have the vintage bug. I have been searching for vintage dials. I found some posts about the MQ dials and have contacted him. What do the vintage experts think of the MQ refinished gilt dials? In conversation with Minh, he stated they are refinished like gen with the plate showing through as text. They are $900 so looking for more information before dropping that kind of coin. Are these reasonably comparable to a gen or the Ivan dials? Thanks
cc33 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 They are made using similar methods so yes the plate shows through like Ivan's or gens but he uses a modern lacquer that doesn't look 100% right sheen wise (that's me being very very anal) most won't notice or care. They are the second best option behind the Ivan dials, they claim to use gen plates but I can tell you for a 200% fact that they are not.

droptopman Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 CC could answer this better. I only know from reading his posts. Ivan made the beautiful dial in CC's big crown. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
