I just found that out from him. Can anyone suggest another source since I struck out with a few TD's as wellOASCOM doesn’t do Daytona dials. He sticks to GMTs.

ThanksWill be nice to see the finished transformation. Meteorite dials can be tricky. But you can get lucky and find a decent BUFF or RBF dial. Unfortunately I don't know of other Meteorite dial makers.

@raremedium - Did you receive the NOOB V4? If so, could you post some pics?
@deadaglev - That's a beautiful dial. Meteorite, dial print and sub dials look very good. I always thought QF did a good job with their meteorite dials yet they never got much love on RWI.
I would bring it to a watch smith to find out what could be done. Maybe there's some solution that could be applied that would remove it? Sanding it wouldn't be a good idea because it's too close to the markers. I'm guessing the rust appeared because of some residual moisture in the case. Therefore all the seals should be checked out as well.
Maybe @Oascom could chime in?
Pencil eraser and micro crystaline to seal it. Very delicate work be carefulIt is very beautiful indeed. If you are lucky and get a good dial with a nice pattern, then the QF is amazing.
Sanding it is obviously out of the question, i am looking for something that will not damage the dial or change its appearance in any way. Maybe something that can be applied locally just on the rusty spots?
thank you very much. I will try pencil eraser. Not sure what micro crystaline is and how to apply it (all google is suggesting is some wax that looks like it might be used on furniture).Pencil eraser and micro crystaline to seal it. Very delicate work be careful
I know almost nothing but that sounds like it may be the right product. After you remove the rust you need to seal it so it doesn't continue rusting from exposure to air and moisture; wax would do that, it's often used to preserve metal for museum display.thank you very much.

Sadly have not been able to get to it yet. So many things and projects at the same time and i wanted to use the opportunity to upgrade to a deep crystal. Which i don’t have yet@deadaglev
Any update here? Might prevent me from buying a meteorite dial Daytona...
