I have been searching for an enamel dial for a 6498 with Roman numerals for a while now. I've found old arnez and eaglestar dials but they usually have goofy logos or paintings on them. I did find a German guy on the bay selling them but they're all Arabic numbers and I'll regret it if I use that I know it. I've looked at steinhart, laco, stowa, and even tissel, but I'd much rather make my own, it's a pride thing I guess lol. I feel like it's a popular style, someone somewhere has to have them. Does anyone have any information about a lead that I can follow?

So I looked around at the vintage ones and found this nice arnex dial with just a simple logo, it's enamel paint, but I think my project turned out very nice, plus the name on the movement matches the dial lol. Anyways if your skimming through threads and read this, lemme know what you think. I actually did find a beautiful dial exactly like I wanted from some awesome people at tourby, so I'm waiting on that for a little nicer project watch down the road.eeb1cd5e7a3aded423cf7da4761c3c74.jpg

I love them as well, as a bigger guy I like the 42-45mm watch size and it's just so much fun to build these. This case was from offrei. I've also used several sterile parnis cases all are very nice. This one is 45mm but is thinner than most at 10.5. I loved the lugs really, that's why I bought it. It wears really well in my opinion.

I bought this Parnis from a China dealer and will swap out the cheap movement from one of my Arnexes. I fell in love with the dial and the whole thing was as cheap as buying the separate parts to make one. Steve

That is pretty neat. Never seen that model before. I've done the same. This one I got the whole watch for the price of a case so I used the movement on another project and just used the case. Also changed that strap out with a Barton black leather and white stitching. That blue anti glare kinda sucks I think I'll remove that eventually. The second one is a sterile parnis case also, with a nice luninous dial and hands, I was kinda going for trench watch look. 5044e80ab86106056a4f4a3ae5268aad.jpgf079b8535c58aa4cf1c6b84d84fdc06d.jpgfa60e5f921f0955d19635828bc5cc50a.jpg1d313dce6fbe5a59410cfe30483f53c8.jpg

Make sure you have the case screws for the ut6498 if you plan on swapping. The st36 screws do not fit. And you'll have to make the hole in the tabs larger to fit those screws, unless you order some larger tabs. This was annoying when I had to stop my project just for a couple screws, so I figured I'd share lol.

      Yup watchie you are entirely on my wavelength with this , you actually said what i was hinting at, what if something happens to mark ? Will someone be able to take over ? Its not that long ago that the forum was down and Mark had to step in and fix it. And you are right a wealth of information that does not exist as a whole anywhere on the planet will be lost. Can that be archived elsewhere?

      Hopefully if the issue is running costs, Mark would let us know and suggest ways of raising finance. If it's the other issue, which we are skirting around, sites can be passed onto others.   PS because I know you're all interested, I  had a bacon and mushroom sandwich for breakfast.  Hehe.

      Hi guys, the question is what is a forum, a place for discussion and passing on information, idle chat and a bit of fun and I for one are the richer for it. When in Hospital last year with the Covid being force fed oxygen and feeling total sh1t and close to the pearly gates a daily look on the forum to see what was going down helped to keep me focused on the job in hand took my mind off the problem for a short while but it was a lifeline for sure. We chat to friends for that is what they become around the world read their posts help where we can post information where we can.  I like @Neverenoughwatches some times think of members past and wonder if they are still at the watches or given up, some drop in for advise and drop out again never to be heard of again. The forum reminds me of Yorkshire hospitality, The door is always open and the kettle on the stove. Long may it continue.   My two bobs worth.
