fatarms 7,758 Posted August 17, 2017 Ahh, yes. My eyes aren't what they used to be... Unfortunately, I think a dial replacement may be your only choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadPickle 2,738 Posted August 17, 2017 Ouch! How did that happen? Ask the td's to source you a dial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagger 160 Posted August 17, 2017 Just got a sea dweller dial from Toro for$35 plus$15 postage, after mine reacted with the Matt lacquer I had put on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wimpie007 108 Posted August 17, 2017 Repainting is not a option, you need a new dial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nofitstate 27 Posted August 17, 2017 Happened recently to my Pam 111 dial. So a new dial is on order and the only way to go. Contact a couple TDs to see if they can source you one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRANSPORTER 1 Posted August 17, 2017 Holy crap that's bad mate, just out of interest does the movement move at all when you are manually winding or pullingthe stem in or out? Only asking as that looks like the dial may have rubbed agaisnt the rehaut and scrapped off the dial paint, dont want you fitting a new dial and the same thing happening again, need to find out why it's happened before fitting a new dial ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,490 Posted August 18, 2017 Happened on a Noob GMT Master 2 that I opened to service it for a colleague that got it from Toro through me. The moment I took out the movement from the case, part of the paint remained attached to the case, detaching from the dial. Asked Toro and bought a new one for like 45$ shipped or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in a case like that it wasn't a mistake of me but a bad painting process from the factory, and the owner of the watch understood it and paid for the new dial. But he is a grown up manager, not a 17 years old selfish guy... Personally I've read people here that I'd never ever want to deal with because they simply have unrealistic expectations, and that means troubles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daydate 0 Posted August 24, 2017 so my TD JOSH from perfect clones can get me a new dial for 50$. can a local watchsmith do the redial? how hard could that be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagger 160 Posted August 24, 2017 Is that 50 dollars shipped?And what is local for a watch Smith for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TRANSPORTER 1 Posted August 27, 2017 It's not too difficult to do, movement out hands off dial off and reverse, gosh that sounded simple didn't it, type of thing I say to the missus just before a simple job "will only be half hour luv" 3 hours later im still at it, anyway I digress, its not a difficult job to do, have you a rep friendly smith in your area, you will find some that will refuse to work on reps ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
