DWO options for 2824 movement

[yakuuu]

Hey guys,

I'm in possession of a TC V6 "Cadell" Submariner. That means I bought the version TC offered without the cyclops and a white-on-black datewheel (instead of the standard black-on-white datewheel).

Here is the watch:

Now I would like to convert it to a "real submariner".
For that I would need a crystal and a DWO.
The crystal won't be problem since there are many quality aftermarket options (prof crystal, etc. although they are not period correct).

But the DWO is more difficult. I tried to write Ginault if they would be willing to sell parts, but they don't even respond to that

Could you guys help me out and point me in the right direction? Where could I source a reasonably priced DWO for a 2824 movement?

I guess the same DWO could also be installed into my ARF DateJust which has the typical bold ARF date font.

Hope you guys can help me

Best regards,
yakuuu

LOL! I wonder why..?

I'm sure there will be quite a lot of members who will join in shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at your planned modification. But hey, it's your watch...

Raffliesdials do DWOs for a range of movements.

Yeah, asking Ginault was a long shot

Thanks for the link!

They don't seem to have DWOs for 2824 though.

I found this instead: http://rafflesdials.com/one-pc-whit...bmariner-or-gmt-master-or-yacht-master-watch/
It only says that it fits 2836, but I read elsewhere that it should still fit. Can anyone confirm that?

I know this isn't something everyone will want to do, but it's an option a modder can do for you also. There are plenty of good aftermarket gen-spec DWs available in addition to using an actual gen.

Gen-spec DW as a DWO

Best one I’ve found is the BK DWO. Send a PM to BKLM1234 here and he’ll tell you the rest.
