Title: Custom Made Dial
Post by: mnazri.tan on May 29, 2012, 02:51:21 PM

I am looking to get a custom dial...to fit in certain cases, and certain movement...so the pillar will fit in the movement nicely...
can anyone direct me where can i get it?

It would be easier if we know the movement you intend to use.

I am thinking either a Chinese movement that I intend to get from homage watches or the Seiko 6138 movement. The likelihood I should start with the 6138 movement. I have a few watch case with unique design. At first I am planning for restoration projects for the 6138, but I am toying with this idea of creating my own unique watch....I dont know yet where I am heading with it, but I have almost everything to start with minus the dial...

Would appreciate if someone could direct me for it. Thank you

You need to decide the watch movement and case first but make sure the watch movement suit the case,the winding stem lever position always cause the problem.problem is when you put the dial and movement in,the winding stem hole is not accurate

yeap...i havent make any decision....Am considering a few movement and case now. Trying to get something unique. The stem & crown is always a challenging issue. I dont know where would this lead me, but looking forward to it.
