Where did you source this dial from?

Thanks! I read that in the thread but was curious which rep dials replicate that look as it is extremely gorgeous! Would a 14060 dial from Raffles be worth it? I know that one is 29mm not 26mm so that might pose a problem. I'm using a JKF 5513 with the DG2813. I have no issues with cutting the dial feet off and using the dial stickers to attach the dial to the movement. I have not seen this dial at Ruby's watch. Does anybody else have this as a rep dial or should I go for the 14060 dial?

The was never a replica 5513 dial of this one with the white gold surrounds. I have a Raffles 14060 in my TC (16610) No Date build. The 16610 is 27.3 or something like that. My watchmaker had to set up a jig to shave the excess off. There is a lot of room but shaving 1.5mm all round might be a little too much. Also the raffles 14060 dial is 1000ft = 300m not 660 ft = 200 m so it is definitely a 5 digit dial.

Thank you for the insight. I'm going to have to go with a different dial for now then.

Imho it has to be tritium tho, the service dials with luminova are just... too modern?

Yep definitely has to be tritium to get that nice cream effect. My lume is as dead as a dodo.
