Where does one get a Vietnam dial?

I’ve been wondering this for a while. They seem to have the best 1680 dials but I have no idea who sells them aside from M2M which disappears as soon as it’s listed.

Yuki dials pretty much look like cartel dials nowdays so where do you source Vietnam dials?

Ah. I always thought ruby was a completely different thing than Vietnam dials.

Thanks!

I'm only going by what I've read around the forums, and am still pretty new to all this. Also check out MQ's website http://vintagewatchesmq.com

(By "I'm only going by what I've read around the forums" I mean WRT whether or not they're "Vietnam" dials. I know they have dials - I've emailed and got prices, but have yet to feel confident enough in my skills to invest in any!)

Either they’re hiding their dials or they don’t have any to sell. :(

I’ve requested a login from ruby so once I get that, I’ll have a look.

Thanks again

Yup, 380 euros for a red sub dial.

A couple available on Ebay at the moment as well, one actually from Vietnam but the print looks a bit cartoon-ish.

Raffles has a micky mouse dial I may get for a build for my daughter. She’s seems to be obsessed with watches as much as I am and she’s only 5 months old. Hehe.

She’s definitely my kid and the mother comes from a family of watchmakers (I plan on learning quite a bit from them soon). :)

Its my understanding that only a select few are able to buy the NAM dials and cases direct from the manufacturer. There are vintage virtuoso skilled Rolex professionals on this forum that have these connections.
Other sellers -or websites might offer China cases & dials as NAM made @ high $$. Do you due diligence before you wire any money.

Oh I was able to track the sub dials down. Asked for a price on one the 1680 dials. They are gorgeous!
Trying to put together the pieces for a 16800 matte dial build.

Nice! What case is that? The crown guards look perfect for reshaping

I think this is a Pong case. It’s a TheSociety build.

Woop! Ruby is making me a non red 1680 dial! :)

Now I just need to find a 5 digit case so I can build my 16800.

Anyone know if a ruby dial can fit in a BP 16610 case without shaving?

I bet that wasn’t cheap but damn if it doesn’t look awesome. Nice build!

Yes, it was expensive for a REP. I will go GEN insert shortly.
