If they ever made a rep version on the wg dial or even a 14060, it’d be a best seller

So after a seeing the watch in the daylight as well as the pictures I posted, I was certain that the hands needed some changing. Luckily I had a set it my drawer of lost watch parts. The outcome is wonderful. Enjoy!

I have a 14060 dial on the way It is 29mm though The TC case it is going into is 27.3mm. So my watchmaker has agreed to machine it to 27.3mm. If it fails I am only $30 down but it is worth the try.

Both my build are 1984 (datejust & Tudor Sub) this means the 5513 has to be!

I'm still trying to get access to viet dials. Ebay doesnt seem to give me any good matches for Germany. Where should I go to get a good 5513 or 1765 dial?

Sorry if this has been asked but where did you get this beautiful bond style strap?

Lol it has not. Damn I cannot remember but this one is superb. It is one that xj4sonx recommended a long time ago. I probably have it more than two years. It is really proper seat belt like material. Hopefully J remembers.
