Hello everyone, I am into some project watch activities at the moment and I would to know a bit more about the following dial : AML, Swiss Made (no Ts), Radium: Which references this dial would suit ??? Pics below. Many thanks !
Don't know much about radiation but from what I can see this is a 2998 dial. Based this on the step in the dial. Lack of t's..
Thought the first ones had a non stepped dial and the latest had a tritium dial? But someone else might chime in or might take a look at moonwatch only..
Hard to say much from those pics, but Emilio is right. 2998-3 to 2998-62, and one of my favs, 105.002. Looks like an A5 dial from MWO. Earlier dials were domed. Later dials starting on 105.003 were tritium. I've heard that some of the later 2998/105.002 dials were tritium as well, but not marked with T's. In any event, good luck with the hunt for the rest of the parts!
Hi guys ! I finally sourced the watch and DO90 bezel ! I need now your help for the two last steps : - Vintage hands -> posted in WTB forum section - The dial presented above has no feet ! Anyone kind enough to recommend a competent watchmaker in Switzerland (french speaking part preferably) who can restore the dial and overall watch service ? Thank you very much folks !
regarding the dial, you could try @Horlogerie - he's in France, but I believe speaks French and has done some pretty cool repairs/restorations that he's posted here.
Vintage hands can be found on eBay, you just have to had them relumed vintage. I once had a Rolex where the dial was glued to the movement. My watchmaker reglued it after service and he said he saw this more often. So I don't know if you need new feet?
Thanks Oddboy for this contact. I will try to find someone more local to me at this step. I will try to contact him if not successfull
there's also the sticky "dial pads" -- little sticky pads. reapplying feet does have some risks. I've never had it done, but have read some threads and one of the concerns is that the soldering can damage the top side of the dial... of course, proper feet would be preferrable. Tough call. You need to discuss options (and risks) with an expert.
I have this kind of sticky pads and already presented them to my regular Omega certified watchmaker. He declined the job saying that he was not confident at all with this kind of repair
New dial feet can be soldered on without damaging the dial, if you find someone with the right kit. See here: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?294950-Broken-dial-feet-repaired!&highlight=solder
