Modding dials to fit Noob Daytonas

[guru]

You can do it on a dremmel without any problems. Just glue your dial on a piece of wood or even metal and shave it down. After shaving, take a raser blade and go under the dial to cut it of. Use 3 little points of glue, don’t glue the complete dial , lol

Think your link is too something else

Can't find the after pictures

I'm really ingested in how it turned out because I ordered an Arf dial thinking it would be a simple dropin

Now in reading that it needs mods AND the 4130 keyless is really easy to fuck up...

Guess I should have done my research..

Never mind... You were demonstrating on a different dial... I kept looking for a Daytona in the thread but couldn't find it

I have tried a few methods. However, the only way to get a decent finish is on the lathe because it's completely concentric. For me the finish using a drill/dremel/emery paper is not good enough. The dial ends up a weird shape.

OK so find a lathe

Will be tough for me to do in Hong Kong =(

You're probably best sending your watch and dial to a watchmaker. Most have a lathe.

I have done my research, the nearest modders to Hong Kong are based in Taiwan and Singapore. Forget finding any in Hong Kong or China.

Yeah Spongebob or Legend are both safe bets. If you want to send it to the EU I can do it for you.

Such complicated works

Besides ARF dial that can fit what other factory dial will work, I am particularly interested in fitting a racing dial.
