Who is best to send this to for mod?

[idontknow]

If I attempt this I know I will hose it up, so.....

Dial will need re-lumed, second hand will need broached, and I think it is best that I get the crystal AR'd.

Looking for a list of possibilities with reasons for, or against (located in CONUS).

Thanks to everyone in advance for your input!

Hmmmm... let me think about this. :thinking:

I think the Gen dial dots would be very difficult to replicate. They don't have metal surrounds like the rep dial. Not very easy to do.

Havent seen that either... You can try and be the first one! I am making one like this also...

I think that Ofrei offers lume dots, but I am not sure what size they are compared to the ones on the dial. Of course the teeny tiny ones would require a little bit of skill.

So does anyone know what size the dots are that Ofrei offers?

I remember seeing an older Omega dial relumed once. ??? did a very nice job, but is still looked way off compared to Gen.

This is what they look like up close.....

 

[Mr. Pap]

Nice find Q! You are right, it doenst look perfect... I dont know also if ofrei offers lume dots, and how easy will that be to install. Its a tricky one...

edit: under dots i found this one http://www.ofrei.com/shop-bin/sc/productsearch.cgi?search_field=dots but i dont think it will do the job...

I wonder if it is possible to remove the markers from the rep dial and place them on the gen?

I was going to relume a gen SMP dial myself (non chrono) and decided not to. These "printed" hour markers are hard to get right. This is why I went with a 40th aniv. 007 dial...the hour markers are loose applied.

Here are some PBdad photos. I should have it back by late next week...

Wow loading photos via tapatalk really destroys the image quality. I'll need to put better photos up when I'm on the laptop.

He did a nice job as far as i can see... I will be waiting to sell me your new chrono dial when you change it as to get a decent lume job looool
