deltatahoe Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 so it's been a while since i've posted any of my new watches (i've finally decided to clean up my watchbox a bit given the recent additions); here is one watch that is getting a lot of wrist time these days -- an unbranded california dial radiomir. this watch was inspired by V (he has a similar watch); he also made me a custom vintage strap for the watch, which i think sets the dial off perfectly. the dial and hands were also relumed by the master ziggy; his special touch is clearly present in the final product. ok, enough talk about the watch -- here are some pics i took this weekend: many thanks to V and ziggy for their help in bringing this one together deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messenius Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 That's a nice looking watch. These cali dials are great. I have a RWC1938a which has a bit different case shape and a lovely high domed chrystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 the cali dials are sneaky that way -- once you get the bug, they are hard to ignore this one has a high domed crystal as well; i should probably take a profile shot to demonstrate how high the crystal sits.... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgodeep Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Love that D ..starting to get the Cali bug now .....who does the best dial in your opinion? I have all the other parts sat in a box with nothing to do so seems daft not to...? Cheers FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 thanks everyone -- i think the vintage strap really makes this watch special @FGD, i think the davidsen dial is probably the best. there was a guy on ebay based out of in florida that had some cali dials with a white chapter ring, but i don't think he's around anymore... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
