Dial and Case Manufacturers???

[chris2982]

Hi All,

Can anybody point me in the direction of a dial and or case manufacturer who will do small orders (anything from 1 to a dozen or so).
I have searched the web and only found pam homage or piolt cases and dials that I can buy individually or chinese companies wanting minimum orders of 10,000.

Any help would be great guys,

cheers
chris.

Minimum order for custom cases is usually 100, but i would imagine they have tons of individuals they could probably sell you.

Worth asking me thinks

on this subject anyone know a source for a case to fit a miyota auto movement, got an incoming invicta with a stripped thread and i'm thinking of attempting my first mod with the movement.

What do you mean stripped thread?, you talking about the Crown Tube?, if so, get the tube replaced

Why not PURCHASE a Bumotec 'scuse the odd name! :lol:

With a 7 axis machining station you can almost do anything providing you know your G codes! :wink:

will it be more cost effective to buy one of these instead of just looking to spend 30 or 40 quid on a case. :lol: :lol:

not sure till i get it, but it's probably got invicta scrawled on it too, so was thinking of just using the movment, and maybe the hands, with a new case and a sterile dial.

I guess it depends on if anyone would actually do a small run of cases...

I too have been looking for a manufacturer who will agree to produce about 15 cases, but no luck so far :(

i did an alpha sterilization earlier this year, had it written on the crown, caseback and dial, just a few minutes with the dremel sorted the case and crown and a sterile dial replacement finished it off.

very easy to do.
