I thought I would bring this post back to the top with my latest project.

A MKII Type 48 dial and hands installed in a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto.

You can read more about the project here: Homage of an homage: Type 48 Mod based on the Quad 10 (based on the IWC Mark 11)

Three years after originally buying this MkII PloProf dial, I've finally put it to use:

@Martin: I really like that mod! The smooth bezel really transforms it.
That's an SKX case, right?

just received this Sandoz Sub Mod... I like it :)

I have a Sandoz Sub MKII as well. I like it but I am considering picking up a 42mm PVD\DLC Steinhart or Armida Sub and having the dial swapped into it. A black, no date, 42mm Milsub would be unique and sweet. I do not yet know if the dial will fit but I'm hoping...

I hate to be a party-pooper, but I don't think the MKII dial will fit in either the Steinhart or Armida case. The MKII dial is only 28mm in total diameter and I think those cases require a 30-32mm dial. You can usually get a good idea by the placement of the date window in relation to edge of the case. Since all these watches use the ETA 2824 the date placement is a constant.

I believe that you are correct. i just looked at a Steinhart Ocean 1, 42mm, and it looks like the date window is around 2 mm further in toward the center of the dial. Also the dial is going to be too small, and will not be a good fit in the case. possibly one of the 39mm Steinhart's would work, but i don't think the 42 will.

Thanks guys.

I was afraid that might be the case. I could not go off of the date wheel as my dial is a no date. Are there any 2824 MKII mod dials that would fit? I know it would be a long shot as they rarely come up for sale but I could put a WTB out there. I may get lucky. Ideally I would like to get an authentic MKII Milsub but the idea of a black one really appeals to me...

I had a very difficult time trying to find a 32mm dial that I liked for a build project. I was trying/hoping for something from MkII, but didn't have any success and didn't want to wait however long for one to come up. I have a couple MkII mods right now, but don't want to tear any of them apart :)
