Nice to finish it off - looks great
Can you pm me the info too. By the way, how do you fit them? Do they just press in or do they need sticking with something? |

I will pm you the info in one sec, If the dot is a real rolex original NOS like this, then it should pressure fit in very tight, No glue needed but you can put a drop of glue on the inside for good messure if you like. |

Hey thanks for the kind words, yeah attila makes a wonderful bund. It was well worth the wait and it will last me a long time. Have had it almost a year now but have not worn it so much, so I really need to start using it more often, I'm just a sucker for natos I guess.

Looks awesome and a great match to the dial! Question. How do you attach the dot?

Hi there.. Can I have the contact as well? Need an icing for my 5513 insert..
By the way, use UHU glue, not superglue. You can take out easily with UHU glue.. ;) |

Talk about a thread from the past! The guy i purchased the Dot from only had 4 of them at the time and he sold out shortly after I made this thread from the other members who contacted me.
paid 250 for the dot alone which was expensive but he had NOS dot's with great patina so I bought it. if it's a rolex genuine Dot, it will fit by a pressure fit. a little dap of appoxy for good messure. |
