Hello Enthusiasts,

Currently i am on the quest to make a franken JF 16610 LN.
I am in the middle of sorting out all the parts.
Found the insert, xtal, date wheel and etc,
but somehow i can't find a good genuine 'swiss made' 16610 Dial.
Found one on chrono but they are selling at 550 USD.

The question is,
1) Does any knows where to get a good gen dial at a good price?
2) Is the market price for the dial now at 550 USD? from what i recall it was not that expensive.

Thanks for your advice in advance.
Cheers

I bought a 16610ln flat s dial on the forum for €300. I think it’s hard to find a good one cheaper.

Yea, i think i saw the same post.
Too bad my project has not started at that time :confused:
Any idea what is the 'reasonable' price for the dial now?

Not really. I don’t see a lot of dials for sale. But I know gen Rolex parts are getting more and more expensive.

Problem is too many franken 5 digit builds have dried up the market. Similar story with the Daytona now. I saw a few GMT dials and bezels, they have about doubled in price vs a year ago. Only ones in abundance are the datejust parts.

You are right.
I remember seeing the 16610 parts quite common.
It is so difficult to find at the moment :(
