question about enamel dial dimentions
Hi, for a long time I have been browsing this forum and finally became a member.
I was wondering if somebody can help me out. I want to create a custom enamel dial for a new Rolex. The problem is that the enamel dial is much thicker than the original one, around 1mm. The enamel dial will not have a calendar window, so the calendar parts can be removed. Does somebody know if there is a Rolex in the current collection which can take a 1mm thick dial? Thank you in advance, Jacob |

I can't answer your specific question but I believe if you do this you will invalidate the warranty, and the RSC may not even work on this watch especially if you remove some parts.

Thank you for the note. I am aware of this and willing to take a risk. I saw the dial created for my friend and the work is stunning. It is a replica of rolex8382 from the 50s

Would probably need a jeweler to mill the inside of the case.
There may be a clearance problem with the hands as well. So possibly a custom, hand made part there as well. |
