Re: Siffert redial recommendations
In Response To: Siffert redial recommendations ()

Thanks all - some very helpful posts.

Tag Heuer don't have a NOS dial, that was my first port of call !

I am therefore throwing myself at the mercy of the forum and anyone on here who has either a rough 1163 dial that could be re-dialled to Siffert spec or alternatively a nice one that could be used as jeff suggests as a better replacement for what I currently have.

Thanks in anticipation !

: It's now been redialled with a dial that's nice and clean and looks
: right ish, but isn't.

: Question is - where can I get a replacement dial. I'm not sure
: exactly what issue it is, but the serial number looks to be
: 241076 from the photo. I'm not going to risk damaging the case
: by taking the rice grain bracelet off to double check !

: Ideally a same issue OG dial would do it, or alternatively does
: anyone know if the current dial can be refinished to be as close
: a replica of the original as possible ?

: This isn't a watch that's going to be up for sale, it was bought
: with my pittance of an inheritance from my Dad and I'd like to
: pass it on to my son when he gets old enough to treat it
: properly (I.e not lose the dial or such !)

: Cheers
