Some hate it, I love it: the Tiffany ice blue dial for the older Datejust 36. I've got an older Datejust dial and searching for someone who can paint and print it.

Thanks for you answer. Mochacha has a dial that is close to what i'am searching. But it is a Rolex #6694 Ceramic Dial for a Oyster Precision, not a Datejust. I will ask them.
Since yesterday i watched some videos to print dials. But I have to admit that this is outside my comfort zone.
It would be easier to just buy one online instead of having someoone re-do an existing dial. There are lots of aftermarket DJ dial suppliers out there, maybe are in the gen watch space.. 47th street sellers may have some rudimentary website where you can request it.

Haha happy to help! Best of luck!
Do you know of a thread or a contact on reshaping the lugs on a raffles 36mm datejust case? I’m just not aware of the proper method or if it’s just as simple as using a hand dremel
No, if nessesary i just would use a file. And to get the finish sand paper. If you don't have a gen model to look at, find picures on the web.

Hey thanks. I actually just used my wife’s powered nail dremel and it was so easy haha. Please keep us posted on that new dial!
I just reopen this thread. Last year I finished the DJ36 with the tiffany blue dial from Raffles. It lookes nice. Here a pic from the current watch:
And anyhow I still look for a pan pan dial in tiffany blue. The pan pan dials are used in the early datejust with the ref. 1601 - 1603 and have a curved edge.
So my idea is to refinish a old 1603 dial using acryl color and toner transfer for the print. I have some experience with toner transfer and did my first prototyp. In the prototype, I wanted to find out whether the toner transfer also works with radius on the dial. To do this, I built a template by shaping a brass disc over a mould. The result is ok for me.
Now I would like to take the next step and use a gen 1603 dial. This could be a dial in poor condition. There are a few offers on Ebay - but even those are still too expensive for me to try. If one of you can sell a cheap dial, please write to me.

Sorry, I am not doing stuff for others. It's too dangerous for me.
