Who makes the best 5513 dial that fits ETA?

[RickFlorida]

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).

After more research, I see that people saying HR?  So I need to email rouhelena@yahoo.com

 

Is this person still active and how long does it take once I order?

I'd figure a couple of weeks for shipping to CONUS

Yeap, very good dial print. Lume is all wrong though. However with a bit of work you can get acceptable results.

You will need to email and request the 5513 dial. It’s not listed on their website.

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?

Here’s a 1970 gen for comparison, also has the uneven spike:


Btw. 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!

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?

Maybe you could ask him for an unlumed one with white paint base coat?

Great idea, thank you.

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.

Do you think I could get a wrong size "Air King" dial? (Just a little bit...)

Drop them an email. Ask what they have available.
