yodaddynukka Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 hi all, after seeing poloxpete's awesome 1680 with the chocolate brown dial, i contacted ndt from ebay to see if they would do a GB for the dials. the original price for the dial is 500usd, but they said they would do it for 420usd. i would like to offer them 400usd. if anyone is interested please reply to this thread so i can gauge interest. if there is enough interest, i will make an offer of 400usd (they have 7 brown dials available). they also have black dials for cheaper (350usd but we can prolly negotiate to 270usd) if anyone is interested in those. i am on my phone typing this, so if u want to see pics and the link to ndt's ebay page please go to polexpete's thread. thank you all. ps- i am not affiliated with ndt and all payment will go directly to ndt.
polexpete Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Nice idea but you might want to try a group buy from the source at http://www.vintagewatchesmq.com/home.html He doesn't list prices but i am sure it will work out cheaper as i'm sure this is where ndt gets his dials from. Also a word of warning. These dials do not fit straight into a MBW case they need to lose around 0.2mm in diameter and taking a file to a USD400 dial is not for the faint hearted... P.
alligoat Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Yes, and I'm interested in a 5513 dial at the moment, although a better red sub dial in my WM is also a possibility. When will the spending stop?
yodaddynukka Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Posted July 27, 2007 thanks polex! ill check out that place and keep youi guys informed about the price and also about choosing multiple dials. i dont know how accurate the non 1680s dials are, so if anyone wants a non 1680 dial, please choose at your own discretion!
cskent69 Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Where can you see a picture of the black dial with Red lettering?
By-Tor Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 $400 for an aftermarket dial? You guys are insane.
Watchwatcher Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 polexp, that site is one of the more interesting dealers i've come across... some very nice vintage stuff. here's my question... i'd ask this about any asian dealer, but i am wondering whether this dealer is selling ONLY gen, or if there are some 'franken items' interspersed. i notice that he refers to several of the gen dials as 'refinished'... quite frankly i'd love to find a dealer that can provide lower cost but authentic looking replica vintage parts... i'd like to build a few vintage watches from the ground up, but gen parts through traditional sources make that prohibitive... your comments? thx.
alligoat Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 $400 for an aftermarket dial? You guys are insane. Were hoping to do better than the NDT pricing, or www.jewelryandwatch.com/. But for a chocolate 1680, you probably have to pay the tariff.
manuel Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 my parents are going to Vietnam and Cambodia for holidays. Will ask them to get me one if the price is right...
yodaddynukka Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 i am having someone who speaks/writes vietnamese write them to see if i can get a good pricing. im on vacation in hawaii until the 9th so i will have limited email access until i return. hopefully we can get a good price!
