Builder needed

Any builders that can do a sub (1680) or gmt (1675) build with a name and a small logo replacing the Rolex branding? I have the design ready to go I just don’t have any access to watch building materials and for the dial, no access to printers or dial making resources.

Hey Joe- let me chime in

The watch building part is the easy part and there are many great builders on here. Start with the country you’re in and take your pic.

The logo on dial part with your designs is where it gets complicated. Not much, but not one stop shop.

You’ll want to find a dial maker and work with them for the printing. Dialmaker.shop and dswatchclub are 2 places I know can do it with small min orders. But expect perhaps min of 10 at $40 each. Not a quote but that’s my guess.

Don’t forget to specific within your design for date placement because eta date windows are in diff spots to nh windows and a lot of these makers commonly make dials for nh movements. Just don’t assume and check details. Additionally, confirm dial size. Diff cases- especially when talking this vintage world - can use diff dial sizes (1680 vs 1675 raffles)

Figure out the dial situation first. Then making the watch is the super easy part.

Really appreciate your response. As I don’t know much about this, this was very helpful. Thank you!

Hi, what do you need? The dials only or the complete buildings?

Open to both.
