I posted another thread yesterday about my old Doxa sub300T that I sold in 2007 and bought back recently. unfortunately, the watch has some damage that has to be looked after. It looks like the dial got wet, and the paint is unstable. Also the hands whuich don't look like my original hands will need refinishing. I'm probably going to need the services of a really good dial refinisher. I want the dial like it was originally. This is a US Divers Aqualung logo'ed model, which I want to preserve.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks
Arthur
I've had KR/Socal do a dial, it was perfect, they are local to me. I've heard of Intl Dial in Ohio. And Dial Craft in Canada comes with good recommendations.
My recommendation would be to send some good phtos of the dial and hands to Jack at IWW and see what he says. The man is an absolute artist and has a lot of experience with DOXAs.
Thanks for the input guys.Jack has restored quite a few watches for me, several Doxas and a Omega SM300. He does great work. i think that the biggest problem here is the damage to the dial is not readily apparent from photos. I sent the watch to another watchmaker who I have used quite a bit and he found the dial problem when he removed the dial. i originally sent the watch to him to have the hands relumed, he found all the other problems when he disaassembled the watch.
Arthur, bummer about the old SUB. I have used International Dial several times in the past. They may be slow but they do a good job. Look at the thread below about my cleaning up my old 300T. That dial was from International Dial and they even put a US Divers logo on it for me.
The price was pretty good to about 50 bucks if i remember right, although it was quite some time ago. No idea what they charge now. Actually, I think Jack at IWW uses them.
