Icing on the cake! Congrats, love the Attila bund btw.

That is a great looking pearl. Where did you get it?

SubKing · 29 May 2011, 10:09 AM

It's a rolex original tritium new oldstock dot, I will get the guys contact info and pm you with it. He is a seller on vintage rolex forums and he responded to a wtb ad I placed, he only has a couple tritiums left but he has a bunch of lume ones all rolex original. Will send you a pm

Congrats, it is trully icing on the cake. Nice strap as well.

gsd119 · 29 May 2011, 11:01 PM

Really nice job, it looks great.

DiamondJack · 30 May 2011, 01:08 AM

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?

Hey,

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.

FAN-DAMN-TASTIC, SubKing!!!! And, yes, that is a word in the vintage world!!

What a stunner!

HL65 · 30 May 2011, 04:48 AM

Thanks so much,
i really do enjoy it and he was a great person to work with when making the strap for sure.

cowboy13 · 25 September 2011, 08:57 AM

Hey subking. Can you send me info and buying that dot. I need one as well. Thanks

Eric88 · 25 September 2011, 09:57 AM

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

xela · 25 September 2011, 02:31 PM

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.. ;)

SWIMPRUF · 25 September 2011, 09:19 PM

Sweet dial!

matt4hand · 25 September 2011, 10:05 PM

What a looker! The lume is almost perfect on that dot. Nice job

SubKing · 28 September 2011, 06:22 AM

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.
