I am after a dial upgrade for my jkf/cartel 5513 with DG2813 mov't understand it is 26mm dia. Any recommendations? It's a budget beater. Also if anyone has a dial going that I could purchase that would be an upgrade to the one I have let me know ! (I have put a post in WTB parts section). Thanks :)

The JKF dial is not too bad and can be greatly improved by a relume (the triangle at 12 is way too short) and the crown needs also shortening and crown guards internal reworking.

Thanks I will look into it, happy to have a go on the stock dial as I’m not precious about it and may go in a Tudor snowflake direction eventually anyway. I will have a dig around but any advice/links on diy dial lume appreciated. Cheers

A JKF 5513, with its dial relumed, modified crown guards and cropped crown. The bi-directional bezel is now working correctly (loose at delivery).

Thanks, nice, you relume the dial yourself? Yeah the bezel was very loose on mine too so I popped it off and bent the thin ring a bit much better now. Also replaced the superdome with a flatter t19 service dome.

The relume and casework is the work of Rolexaddict.

Not sure why the 5512 was left out.. they are almost identical in execution..

Lol same watch just the 5512 was an official chronometer, which justified Rolex differentiating it from the 5513 and charging substantially more for those extra two lines.

All 5512s are also welcome on this thread :)
