Toadtorrent Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I thought you'd like that shot B! Hey TMG...nice trio!! What's the story on the CWP Redial of your 1675?? Who is CWP and what was entailed in the redial? Did they have blast the old printing off, and re-screen-print the whole dial???

Did they have blast the old printing off, and re-screen-print the whole dial??? Hi ToadT, thanks for the kind words! CWP is Classic Watch Parts, they do vintage restoration work, redials and custom dials and sell hard to find aftermarket Rolex parts. The stock dial was sent to him, the dial was blasted off and re-screened with the vintage toned weak lume.
wsj_ca Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Beautiful watches ALL. The more time I spend on this form, the more I'm drawn to Panerai.

CWP is Classic Watch Parts, they do vintage restoration work, redials and custom dials and sell hard to find aftermarket Rolex parts. The stock dial was sent to him, the dial was blasted off and re-screened with the vintage toned weak lume. Wow...quite the venture. When I saw your 1675...that really made me want to go down that path for a piece like that...but I'm thinking of one with an old perspex insert. I don't think I would go as far as doing CWP for a redial...that just sounds significantly out of reach in terms of effort and dollar. I suspect they won't just redial anything...you must need some kind of gen dial stock to start. Is this correct??
freddy333 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 I'm thinking of one with an old perspex insert. Like minds............ I don't think I would go as far as doing CWP for a redial...that just sounds significantly out of reach in terms of effort and dollar. I suspect they won't just redial anything...you must need some kind of gen dial stock to start. Is this correct?? Incorrect. Unlike a professional dial restorer (who tend to have working relationships with gen makers), CWP will dial just about anything

Unlike a professional dial restorer (who tend to have working relationships with gen makers), CWP will dial just about anything You're 6542 is the reason for wanting to go plastic my friend!! That perspex insert is smoking!! I was checking my Antiquorum catalogue looking at the GMTs with the pepsi perspex insert. WOW!!! OK...now I'm going to have to look into this CWP thing a little more!! Thanks!!
P4GTR Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Camera phone/work computer work-a-round apologies ahead of time.. I just wanted to show this unlikely combination i'm wearing. Originally just put this on NATO to test the watch for accuracy (mvmt replacement) without scratching the brand new bracelet. I like it! I know the pic sucks but I think it represents the combo enough for you guys to get an idea what it looks like..

I suspect they won't just redial anything...you must need some kind of gen dial stock to start. Is this correct?? Freddy is right CWP will do it, my redial was done on the original Silix dial since it was larger than a gen dial. He will also supply a base dial if it's for a standard Rolex or ETA mvmt. I'd suggest the 6542 also! Here's a fine looking 6542 bezel insert BTW.
its_urabus Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 dluddy, that is cute snow man, here are some of my sons and mine OH and I am wearing this tongiht... @p4gtr, the head tube angle on that frame you have sketched looks a little steep... is someone sketching out a new cruiser?
RobbieG Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Still... I Forgot how comfortable this was. Usually only for travel but I discovered I can still play with the GMT function at home. Today I went to the grocery store and fell back an hour. Reset when I got home. Man am I car-lagged...
