Ptolomeo Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi, once more time I need the help of the Rolex experts. I've found a genuine 14060M dial in perfect condition and I haven't been able to resist. So now I'm trying to make a franken 14060M from a MBW16610 and some genuine parts I've been collecting during last weeks. My problem now is the crystal. How can I get a good sapphire for the MBW case that look correct for a 14060M? Is there any easy way to remove the cyclops from the 16610 crystal without damaging it? I've search a lot but couldn't reply my own question by myself. Any link to an old topic I've lost? Thanks, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 just use some heat - its just glued - a simple candle will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torresp Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 But check the inner space before because 14060 case is smaller than 16610, maybe the dial will be too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 i use a soldering iron and touch it to the cyclops for a few seconds and then use a knife and pop it off. easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm with torresp on this, check the diameter of the dial and make sure it fits in the 16610 case before you do anything else. Gen dials are typically smaller than the rep dials and it could be too small for the case. And as I recall, a 14060 has a whole set of different dimensions than a gen 16610- like slightly smaller. Double whammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
