RickFlorida Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm pretty happy with my Yuki dial but after reading and learning more and more, I realized the 12 O'Clock marker on Yuki's are a little shorter and fatter than original dials. So I was curious, how could I find a better ETA fitting 5513 Dial? (I am capable of vintagizing it myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 After more research, I see that people saying HR?

alligoat Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 http://www.helenarou.com/eta-2828242836.html I'd figure a couple of weeks for shipping to CONUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 After more research, I see that people saying HR? Yeap, very good dial print. Lume is all wrong though. However with a bit of work you can get acceptable results. Modded:As delivered: You will need to email and request the 5513 dial. It’s not listed on their website.

RickFlorida Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thank you! He seems quick to respond and very nice. And good prices so I will probably just order from him. Thanks. The crown on that dial...... is it supposed to have an uneven spike on the crown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a chat with MK from HR and pointed out the current lume deficits. Hopefully the next batch will be improved. Don’t hold your breath though!Modded HR dial cased-up: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 That's amazing that I didn't know this. Very interesting? For how many years did they come out like this or did it occur sporadically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hologramet Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Maybe you could ask him for an unlumed one with white paint base coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickFlorida Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Great idea, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Maybe you could ask him for an unlumed one with white paint base coat?Did that too. Paradoxically it’s more expensive than the lumed version as it’s considered to be a custom job, almost twice the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
