A good idea The issue I am having is that the stem wont stay clicked in when I pull it out to set time the stem just pops out. all the parts look good but there must be a defective part and I am going to replace all the keyless parts from my movement graveyard

I have dabbled with them , but they are too simple and easy....no challange...Im just whining because I am not up for a challange today I just wanted to get things done...Since the new dials come with NH feet, why not just use the NH38?
i see u are using the standard 12.5mm hands anyway
nice paint job btw! it’s looking better and better! tempted to swap out my dial with the caramel dial now
im opening up my 3 year old 1016 soon for a dial repair mini project… will start some tests today
fingers crossed
I use the PT5000's in my 2824 builds (10 or so), and have never experienced any problem with the keyless works..

plan failed.
unlikely many of u here, I don’t have access to the tools or skills to install dial feet so the idea was to install the feet-less explorer dial on a blank NH dial with epoxy or glue so it will be easier to swap movements in future if required.
I had sanded the blank dial as thinly as possible to about 0.1mm. however the stem wouldnt fit because of the thickness pushing the movement up (looking from the case back perspective).
next I tried trimming away the outer edges of the movement holder (grey plastic) to lower the entire dial. it was better but still too high (or low) for the stem to fit properly
glad I experimented with a screwed up NH movement I had lying around
I do. Not all of it - usually just the Yoke and the Setting Lever Jumper.
Check the underside of the Setting Lever for burrs - classic trip-up for the Stem locking function.
Okay I got it dialed in now fellas..
pretty not bad. if I do say so myself.

Luck lol
There is some overspray I may try and clean up a bit but by doing mostly the outer perimeter and center of the dial there is not much overspray on the lume which is ideal
behind glass.:
The caramel turned a bit darker , but I am pleased with it. I added more soot around the edge of the dial but still very subtle. I find the contrast between the bright yellow and black very brash
I am pleased overall with the final result. I will have to touch up the hands for a closer match but I think this definite progress in the right direction.

the original plan was to install a blank dial with NH feet directly on the yuki dial so it will be easier to swap movements in future.
you can find one easily here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005825418332.html
first i experimented by sandwiching the blank dial and another dial in the case without glue/epoxy
however, that plan failed as the stem was not able to sit properly due to increased height in the entire movement in the case.
new plan:
chop up the blank dial, stick it on and viola
stem fits!
its now sitting somewhere in the house to let the glue cure.
this is the glue i used.
first, scratch up the surface, then dab a few drips on before sandwiching both dials together.
why the need to scratch the surface?

Great dial! Ordered one also.Just arrived in the mail...
the size is 28mm and need to be lumed.. (doesn't have any lumen ) the quality seems good for me...
maybe some forum master will be able to give a better judgement by looking at the details, but from what I can see it is a Mark 1 fat lume
How the lume part worked out?
Im confused as to why you glued a dial to another dial? Why not just buy replacement feet and glue them to the yuki dial?the original plan was to install a blank dial with NH feet directly on the yuki dial so it will be easier to swap movements in future.

Ive started doing that for builds with the 3135 and viet dials and it works well, better than dial dots no shifting..
I just use an old movement for the template..
i cant for the life of me align the feet. and the surface area of the replacement feet is too small for me to work on.
having a large surface area is easier for me to align the dial
Yah I get it , that just seems like alot of extra . if it works., Im not going to raz you about it but the dial feet that I have , have large bases to adhere to .i cant for the life of me align the feet. and the surface area of the replacement feet is too small for me to work on.

I put them in the movement.
drop GS on the base of the foot
drop dial onto movement and align with stem
Oh man... I'm gonna have to get me a 1016 tropical build soon. Your dials are gorgeous.
