Some questions about Sandoz Submariner

[ante]

I wonder if you can replace the Sandoz dial with a Tudor Submariner dial? It

I went over to PMWF to look at a Sandoz Sub

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.

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

I have a Sandoz HK Sub as well. Have you found out what bezel insert will fit (size) and where to buy one at?

[cougaree]

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.

Thanks for the link to the MkII modded Sandoz, Frank. That's pretty cool

I have a Sandoz HK Sub. Does anyone know what bezel insert will fit? Me need a new one. Anyone ever replace the Pearl?

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.
