Hi guys I am new to this site but not new to watches.I bought a iwi marine diver a few weeks ago and I cant stand the dial.Marine Diver doesnt look right to me on it! The watch overall is a decent watch.Is there anybody out there that makes a nice clean dial that says Marina Militaire that would fit this?
Thanks

wow this is the first time i hear about this brand, well i've always learn something new in this forum everyday :)

you probably can contact DSN to check whether his dial will fit or not.

i wonder if they actually made their own watch or they source it from china?

Its a good question and from what I have read they claim all swiss made.I dont know they have a nice website but they took the photos of these down after Panerai started going after people I was told.I got this used for a fairly good price and have used it as my beater but the dial is horrible with marine diver on it.When I bought it a friend of mine has an original rxw kens trading watch and also a $100.00 rep this is not quite as good as quality as the rxw but way better than the $100.00 1 so kinda of in the middle.With the right dial I will be happy keeping it.When they 1st came out I think they were around $300.00 now they are close to $600 witch is way overpriced IMHO

Davidsen can supply "Marina Militare" dials. He has a section in our dealer sub-forum.

Davidson MM dials are the same as jacksontse, they are all from Hongkong, so if you think that the dials are poor in quality, davidson dials are not for you also..

I don't know about jacksontse's dials, but DSN's dials are just fine, IMO.

Better than fine in a lot of cases.

I have to agree. DSN has dials that have texture to them which I think make them stand out compared to other dials/suppliers on the market.
