Nicely done my friend....it looks great!!   That is the MQ Dial?

 

Best part is you can swap back at any time if you wish!!

"...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.   :tu:

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.
