Oysterdate 6694 Dial
G'Day readers,
I've just started a bit of a renovation project on an Oysterdate 6694. I'm in a quandary with the dial.... As you can see in the photograph - apologies for rubbish quality - the dial is scratched. I would like an exact replacement if possible - it's silver with gold markers. Ironically I have a spare silver one but it has silver markers! Maybe I could get a decent horologist to swap the markers over. Alternatively I could get it restored, but am slightly concerned about the finish. Any suggestions much appreciated. The watch is a gold plated 1962 version that has seen better days but is completely original and will look great when I've finished. |

How did the dial get scratched ?
When removing the hands ? It can be restored but I would try to find a non-restored one . . . Just my .02 HAGOne

The Gold Plated 6694
Hello Janice & Fred,
Apologies for taking so long getting back to you, as I was unaware of any comments being made....don't know how I missed them... Anyway, here are a few pics of the finished watch. In the end I tried the silver dial that I had spare and it looked much better than I expected, as it sort of took on the gold colour, so I stuck with it. I too like the 6694 model and have owned quite a few - I have two at the moment, one on eBay and I can't decide which dial to fit to the other one...Doh!! I have tried a blue custom dial on the eBay one, which I have uploaded a couple of shots of, so please let me know what you think of it. Cheers, Dave |

Old thread, but for me the blue custom dial looks great.
Complete makeover and the watch looks so different and "up-to-date". |
