ante Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I wonder if you can replace the Sandoz dial with a Tudor Submariner dial? It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I went over to PMWF to look at a Sandoz Sub http://www.pmwf.com/Phorum/read.php?10,61838,61838#msg-61838 You might be able to swap out the dial- I'm assuming you're talking about a later model Tudor dial w/ date. Crown and tube is more work- you'd remove the tube, drill the case hole with a 2.65mm drill bit and then tap it w/ the 3mm x .35 tap. Before you installed the tube, you'd have to check the crown guards and make sure the Rolex 7mm crown fit in there, might have to shave the cg's. Isn't the back of the Sandoz case marked? You'd also need a better bezel insert- maybe the PMWF 5513 insert with the Ofrei illumines dot. Overall, I'd think it would be easier to just look around for a Tudor Sub rep myself. But then again, I don't know who has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd swapped my gen rollie dial into my sandoz TT sub...not so easy coz of the different locations of the dial feet...i suppose the tudor ones wld be similar since they're both ETA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prsist Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have a Sandoz HK Sub as well. Have you found out what bezel insert will fit (size) and where to buy one at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaree Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I believe YAO dial will fit. In fact I was told by others that MKii Rolie homages are based on the Sandoz case. I have a Sandoz singapore too... but have not done any upgrade yet. http://www.mkiiwatches.com/ Cougaree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prsist Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I have a Sandoz HK Sub. Does anyone know what bezel insert will fit? Me need a new one. Anyone ever replace the Pearl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojako Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 this watch looks good! If this has an ETA movement, i guess rep rolex dials would fit right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prsist Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 this watch looks good! If this has an ETA movement, i guess rep rolex dials would fit right? Love the watch, so much so I won't buy a rep sub. One big prob I have found is the bezel is crap. Held in place be a wire system that's prone to fail. Mine has and now I have to see if a watchsmith will repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
