rober100 0 Posted December 3, 2011 I think the diameter of a regular Submariner dial is around 26mm but what's the size of a dssd dial? It looks smaller than a sub dial to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rober100 0 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) wow! Great job. How did you manage to preserve the Rolex logo and all the inscriptions? I think I'm going to have some jobs for you Edited December 3, 2011 by rober100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted December 3, 2011 To change gloss to matte, it's just a matter of removing the markers and adding a clear coat. In this case I used a 2 component matte clear applied with an airbrush in a mini spray booth. It's touchy stuff for a DSSD, not like a vintage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
