Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time for leaving a comment. We appreciate your continuous support and hope you also enjoy our future videos as well 😊
Yes! You're the first that's mentioned that. We definitely have some newer hands on our team, and all our dial refinishers do wonderful work. Thank you for your comment and for watching! 😊
Superb work. This Omega Pie Pan dial is my favourite of all their dials. Can you confirm, what is the red paint in the centre of the dial for? What part does it play in the process? Is there some underlying sunburst layer or something?
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment! The paint does cover up the pattern in the center, creating a two-tone design on the dial itself. Unfortunately, we cannot say the specifics of the materials that we use as our team would like to keep it a trade secret. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you again and have a wonderful day! 😊
Super travail bravo 👍 le tarif pour une réimpression de cadran constellation pie pan en or massif? Les impressions sont elles identiques a l’original ?

Okay, I've decided to subscribe to this channel, something i almost never do. Anyway, some quick questions: 1. How do you keep your hands so clean? No callouses, no chapping, no permanent stains under the fingernails! 2. Your brush for brushing the dial: it's a large diameter (10"?), with a narrow row of stubby bristles. What are the bristles made of? It looks like nylon from the video. I'm wondering if a dial that i have can withstand the bristles. 3. When doing your pad printing, what kind of ink is being used? I know you're gonna tell me that it's a trade secret, but is it the expensive stuff that costs $130/pint? Or have you found a cheaper alternative? Or have you tried to make a DIY printing ink? The ink I'm looking out for needs to be impervious to UV light and it should be inexpensive. 4. Have you ever considered making your own applied hour markers? I think that's all for now. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thank you for your question! In general, we do, but there can still be some differences. If you need a specific pattern, it is recommended to send us a photo of the dial through email at info@krdial.com to look for the exact die. If we don't have the die needed, we can always manufacture a completely new die for you, but at an additional charge. We hope this helps!
Entendería si estuviese muy deteriorado por el tiempo la restauración, pero estaba aceptablemente conservado con una hermosa e inremplazable patina que solo el tiempo puede conseguir, no saben lo que las empresas relojeras darian por conseguir artificialmente ese acabado con patina
Hi, there! Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment with your insights. Refinishing a watch dial is a completely subjective process. The value is always up to the owner of the watch or a customer who wants to buy it. Some may like collecting vintage pieces that have patina, and there are others who like wearing a watch with a pristine dial on their wrist. For example, some may have a heirloom piece that they want to be restored (which remains valuable to them on a sentimental level) and there are those who want to refinish dials to resell (which can increase in value to those who want a new-looking watch and appreciate the restoration process as a whole). It is just a matter of the customer's preference! Our clients, including individuals, watchmakers, and brand-name manufacturers, have trusted our work for nearly a century now. Despite the fact that most of our clients are knowledgeable and quite well-versed in watches, we will always let them know if we think that a dial shouldn’t be completely restored and provide advice on next steps. We respect all decisions made by the owner regardless of what they decide. We’re just here to show our restoration process 😊
@@kirkrichdial olvide felicitarlo por su trabajo, la restauración y diseñar diales es todo un arte y muy satisfactorio que me encantaría aprender, soy un aficionado, cual es el nombre de la maquina con la que estampa el dial, las placas donde adjunta la tinta con el diseño ud las fabrica?
Some people like a pristine looking watch rather than a patina-ed one, but yes, the dial looked very nice for its age before the restoration, and I would've certainly kept the original.
Hi, there! Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment with your insights. There are two different schools of thought regarding watch dial restoration.

Hi, there! Thank you for watching and for pointing that out. Since there was an inconsistency, this dial will need to be reprinted, however, it does not need to restart its entire refinishing process from the beginning. These videos are purely to show how the restoration works and to bring light to the art of dial refinishing that needs reviving. In the end, refinished dials always go through quality assurance checks by both our team and the owner of the dial to see if any changes needed to be made, redone, or improved. (This isn't shown in our videos). We will always respect the needs of our customer and try our best to get exactly what the customer desires. Even if we send out the dial and the customer isn't happy, we're always glad to take it back and redo it for them. We truly appreciate any support as we try to revive this art form. Thank you again and we hope you have a wonderful day! 😊
As always, it’s down to customer’s choice. Ethics doesn’t come into it when the client demands a pristine looking dial on a classic timepiece. It’s personal taste.

it would be much better with explanation of the processes and tools/equipment used .
Do you have dies for the Seiko 6139 series of chronographs?

By doing these useless jobs on dials that don't need reprinting, you are desecrating history....horrible ethics
