Sorce for 6200 dial

[vuhuynh]

I am doing a Rep Rolex 6200 project base on the RXW Sub pro watch. I sent the watch dial and hands out to have it redo, they came back all ruined.

The redialer decided to redo the dial the way he wanted, not the way I've asked for, the hands look terible with the lume all over it.

Can anybody point me to the right direction of where to obtain a Replica Rolex 6200 dial, the diameter is 27mm, fit to the ETA 2824 movement?

or somebody who willing to redo the dial as the Rolex 6200 would be.

I amlocated in the US.

I did contact Chris at Eutotimez and Sillix but nothing yet.

I do not know of any sources of accurate 6200 dials that will fit an ETA (all of the aftermarket vintage dials I know of are made to fit gen (1030 or 15xx) movements).

However, MY will repaint your existing ETA dial & he usually does a good job. Be very specific in outlining what you want & expect BEFORE sending your dial off to reduce the chance of misunderstandings.

Hands are relatively easy to lume or re-lume since the lume is applied from the backside of the hand. For a vintage Rolex, I would recommend either non-glowing paint or a lume that has a very weak glow since 40+ year old tritium is not likely to have anything more than a short-lived, weak glow, at best (most have no glow at all). (Vintage watches relumed with Superlume or other high intensity luminescent materials may look cool, but it also makes your watch look silly...........& fake.)

After removing ALL of the existing lume from your hands & cleaning them, I would apply a couple of coats of Bergeon 5680-G luminous paste, which is mixed with water & applied with a toothpick to the backside of each hand. Let dry for 15 minutes & reinstall.

If you do not have the skills to do this yourself, anyone (not me) who provides reluming services can do this for you. However, as you experienced with your previous relume work, it is important to make sure that the person doing the work understands what you want done & what lume material you want used BEFORE sending payment or parts. If you are not absolutely positive that both you & the relumer are on the same page, I would find someone else. I think Ziggy is probably the most talented around at this type of thing, but I do not know if he is accepting new work at this time. You can also try Kent, who does good work.

Thanks a lot for your advise.

I've tried to contact Classic watch parts but their email does not work.
