Rirash Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 RWG Community, I have an original Rolex Ref. 6538, however, dial is a pretty bad reprint. Read Ivan dials are the best, but cannot locate contact info via google search or this forum or other forums. Given real dials are hard to find, and, are north of 15k, looking to contact Ivan. Can some please provide guidance on contacting Ivan. Appreciate the time.
Sogeha Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 You can not contact the DarkLord unless you have someone he has dealt with to vouch for you. 1
hologramet Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 We do not speak his name. Step 1, You have achieved. A genuine dial to work on Step 2, As Sogeha mentioned is getting someone to vouch for you. That part is tricky and I wish you the best of luck! 1
bobandshawn Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 You mention his name three times in your post...something terrible will happen... Stay away from mirrors... B 1 2
d4v3 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Some things are better left unsaid, good luck with your quest my friend, patience its the key to this game. 1
Thrasher Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 I dont even know about Ivan and I have been around the block almost 4 times now 1

QueTip Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Rule #1 you don't talk about the Dark Lord. Rule #2 you can't reach the Dark Lord Rule #3 don't mention his name 3 times in one post 1
Sogeha Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Anyone know who has the best Sub? As a Newbie question this one at least was refreshingly different. Unfortunately the only way to contact Voldemort is to be a known member of the community for several years, get a solid reputation and build contacts, then if you are really, really lucky someone just might vouch for you. These are not our rules, these are his and he is in a position to dictate pretty much any terms of business he wishes. Where does that leave you? Well I would settle for a Vietnamese dial for the time being. 3

capre Posted February 1, 2018 Report Posted February 1, 2018 You must have balls mentioning that name Its more refered to as ”he we do not speak of”. Once you go to the darkside there is no turning back so choose wisely my friend.

Mike on a bike Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Hmm who is this "Darklord" though not in need of a dial at the moment I feel the need to establish contact for future reference, at which board does he operate out of?
Rirash Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Hi, All, I was able to make contact with the DarkLord and he is making me a 2 line gilt dial. DarkLord is also making a set of lollipop gilt hands so that the patina matches. Good communication and did not need a referral after all. Edited March 21, 2018 by Rirash Typo

Also... care to share the costs for others to know (combined aproximate cost) I'm guessing it's for a 6536/6538?
automatico Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 "Rule #1 you don't talk about the Dark Lord. Rule #2 you can't reach the Dark Lord. Rule #3 don't mention his name 3 times in one post." This guy is making super good dials, knows someone who does, or he is going through what he has access to and picking out the best examples. That...or TTK is back from the Hereafter and selling dials. I've had a few 'refinished' dials... 'Paul' sold me some dials (1680, 'COMEX' 5514 etc) for $10USD each. Not real good but well worth the $$. No 'Singer' dial plates. Bought a dozen or so from Yuki over the years. Around $120 each and most were pretty good...6 or 7 on a 10 scale. Got 3 or 4 from IG44 for about $130 each (can not remember exact price), and they were a little better than Yuki. Have 3 or 4 'Phong' dials and they are pretty good too. Bought them from members at good prices. None are on 'original' Singer dial plates although some have Singer stamped on the back. The secret to a good dial is a scratched up crystal or a long sleeve shirt.
Nanuq Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 When I had him make my dial I waited 2 years for him to find a genuine plate. It's not like people are throwing away vintage Rolexes just to recover their dials for reuse.

He's still around mostly buying diamonds now instead of Rolex Would love to see the result and would you mind sharing with us the price you paid for you dial, I'm thinking myself ordering a few dials to him?
Rirash Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Posted March 23, 2018 Sure I will post. Should be another 2-3 weeks. Cost north of 2k USD. I am freeing up my current dial and hands once my new set arrives. Will also post pics are the for sale ones. 1
Sogeha Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 “I had a dream!” Could be wrong, but that is my guess. Like all forum Mods I know f all, but my best guess is the Dark Lord has a nice business at the moment that has nothing to do with reps but might involve someone I know...... or not 1
Nanuq Posted May 7, 2018 Report Posted May 7, 2018 On 3/23/2018 at 3:48 AM, Rirash said: Sure I will post. Should be another 2-3 weeks. Hello? Rirash? It's been 7 weeks. But who's counting? In my case it was two years and I figured I was lucky. And again the Dark Lord slips into the realm of the inexplicable.
