    Hello everyone!

    Brand new member here. I have been a member of Rolex Forums for 5+ years. However, I was looking for more Omega discussions and found this great site.

    Over the last few days, I discovered the mitsukoshi mod and I fell in love (i know purest aren't the biggest fans). I currently own a hesalite sandwich 3572.50. Based on my research the 1863 caliber will work with the mitsukoshi mod.

    My only problem is I can't find anywhere to purchase the mitsukoshi dail. I have read that they are more scarce now than a few years ago and the price has gone up. Any tips on where I can procure a dial?

    Thanks for any tips!

    Omega has finally stopped selling them it appears so the days of a few always being on eBay are gone and if they do the price is up. You also need the hands.


    They and the Italian Albino are gorgeous watches.


    Keep a tight watch on eBay. There also might be one for sale on this forum.... well a conversion...

    Hmmm, they do look cool. Do these command a following and do they add a premium to a watch; say a 2008 3570.50 moon watch?

    A modded one... maybe a little. The supply of these dials dried up in the past year. Hard to say over the next few years.

    Any vintage Daytona fans here?

    How about a mitsukoshi mod on the 60th anniversary speedmaster? You can probably tell that it's the first time I've tried editing a photo ;) Maybe someone else could do a better job but here it is:
