Drummania Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 You may also try ruby's watch for dials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcon11 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Looks very straightforward to me. Let us see the results. +1 on checking with Ruby , you'll save a ton, although I'm not sure she has those dials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 great looking watch- hope that 1030 hangs in there for you- it's getting harder and harder to find parts for those movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 "...the 1030 movement works well! But I still worry about how to find parts when it has problem…" One thing that may cause trouble and is hard to find is the winding rotor bearing p/n 7004. You may never need it but if you find a new one at a fair price, try to get it. You will not have any trouble reselling it if you do not need it. A fair price is $50 to $90 USD or so imho. These movements usually do not have many problems but if you want to gather up spare parts...look for a rough watch with one in it at a low price...or you might find parts that a retired watch repair guy has from back when they were popular. Ask around...a friend had a small box of old rlx parts and he gave them to me when I asked if he had any parts. You never know what you might find. Stay away from rusty movements unless they set, wind, and still run...or are free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 You could send the original watch to them for a sevice, but it would be very expensive and if it needed a part, I don't know what they'd do. Don't send the 6610 assembly to them- too risky- they might figure out that the dial is aftermarket. You'd be better off finding a local watchmaker for a service and I'd recommend keeping it serviced regularly- hoping that that way you will avoid an unnecessary wear and tear to critical and hard to find parts.
