wofuer911 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi, I have only a 1530 movement ant want to built a 5510 Sub. ( should be perfekt ) What do you think where I can buy all components I need ( case, dial , hands...) ? I looked for a Yuki case, dial ND Traiding or is Ivan the best ? How can I contact him ? What are your ideas ? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick1972 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I don't understand why it's difficult to contact Ivan? Since the fake dial show on VRF, everyone should know him Try his website: www.swissdialco.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 If you're ready to spend big coin MQ has his top end dial that's made similar to Ivan's. If Ivan is in reachable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 It doesn't matter, he really won't deal with anyone without a personal reference. You don't contact Ivan ... Ivan contacts you. Here's what MQ can provide, but it's a crapshoot if you get a good one, or a bad one. He can do it, but he can be very frustrating to work with. Plus there are serious details wrong with it.

508-Fanatic Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Stunning dial Nanuq. I need to get a great 2-line dial for my 5513 project. The Yuki I have now isn't horrid, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I actually do not agree that phong is the best. he CAN be, but you have to remember that he is a dealer, not the person that produces the cases. so just like mq, its really hit or miss. you can get a great case on the first shot, or spend weeks going back and forth (like I did with my 5514) until he gets one from his supplier that is worth the money. truth is, none of the aftermarket cases are just build and go. they all require work in order to achieve a good result. phongs as a base, in my experience, require the least amount of work. but there is alwayyyyyyys something.

wofuer911 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi guys, on Phongs homepage you find out the price for the 5510 case, crystal, tube, crown, caseback 1450$ ( when I look at the pictures it includes also bezel and insert ) I still have the 1530 , now the question is how much should I invest for the dial ? (and hands) Please let me know your ideas. I think it is possible not to go over 3000$ for all . So Ivans dial is a oportunity, maybe MQ. thanks for your input.

cc33 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 The dials are 1200£ now appx, so unless that's in your budget why not buy the 5510 dial that's for sale in the sales section that someone linked to earlier? It looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wofuer911 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have seen the dial , but its far away from Ivan and MQ. For me both are top and the best I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Has anyone heard any more news about Athaya's case that he's working on? That could end up being a great and much more affordable option in the future. His 8mm crown is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
