It would have been interesting if there was narration describing the steps that were taken. From the video it looks like there were redundant treatments, like silver plating that was subsequently abraded off. The scrubbing and polishing steps and why they are done isn’t clear from just watching. In the end, I can appreciate that it’s a complicated process but I’m still wondering what was being done and why.
wow , you are the real deal . enjoyed every seconds oof the video . keep em coming !
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! We'll pass the words along to our team of dial refinishers who definitely appreciate every word. Have a wonderful day! 😊
Very good
Hi, there! Thank you for watching. Our team of dial refinishers appreciate the kind comment 😊
What a great project! Thank you again for the help ⌚
We can't wait for future projects to record!
The ink press is a bit confusing in relation to the alignment. Arguably the most important part. I would like to have seen how they did it when new.
Hi, there! We use the traditional art form of printing; the print is aligned by stamping the print onto the transparent sheet that you see in the video before moving the actual dial in its correct position and using the transparent sheet as a guide. It's quite a meticulous step that our team of dial refinishers perfected after almost a century of servicing the trade! Thank you for watching and we hope you have a wonderful day 😊
Outstanding.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching our video. We hope you enjoy more of our content!
I'm curious about the economics of dial restoration. I got into watchmaking about a year ago and have started with less expensive watches. Most of my watches were bought off of eBay for under $200. I'm a big fan of vintage Zodiac watches. Does the watch have to be a Cartier, Rolex, Omega, etc. to make such a dial restoration worth it?
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for providing your insight! We're happy to hear that you've gained a passion into watchmaking. That's some interesting insight, however, we believe the value of restoring a dial is really up to the owner of the watch. The personal and sentimental value of a watch can just be as priceless as the monetary value of a piece; it's really just all about preference 😊
Lovely job you have done there. May I know what kind of liquid you use to wipe off the graphic on the dial?
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for your interest in our craft. Our first step is always using acetone. For the rest of the process, we unfortunately can't provide the specifics of the materials that we use as we'd like to keep that as a trade secret. We appreciate your understanding and support and we hope you enjoy our other videos as well! Have a great day 😊
💯Craftsmanship
Hi, there! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment. Our dial refinishers truly appreciate it 😊
Great video! Beautiful work! Thank you! What material do you use for the cliche you engraved with the laser? Is it a simple steel plate?

Hello. I like your works. It is possible to know what kind of laser is used. I'm a hobbyist watch fan from Europe. I would like to know if it is worth investing in a laser for hobby purposes. Thanks

Awesome stuff again guys - I wanted to ask you - the dial looks like new, are you using similar methods that Cartier would use, or do you work out your own route to get the same result?
Hi, there! Thank you so much for your continuous support and for your curiosity. We do indeed use the same methods as Cartier 😊
@@kirkrichdial that’s genuinely fascinating to know - can’t wait for the next videos chaps. This channel will blow up, the content is top quality, so please keep it up 👊🏻
How much is this service?
Hi, there!
Thank you so much for reaching out.
Our services start at around $225 USD + Shipping and additional fees depend on the amount of work that needs to be done. We recommend shipping your loose dial out of the watch to avoid a $75 disassembly/reassembly fee. However, if you do need help doing so, you can send in your watch as a whole and we can professionally do it for you when we receive it.
Visit our website to get started on a US domestic order. If you need to send out a dial to us internationally, please feel free to email to our Customer Service team for further instructions at info@krdial.com
Feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Thank you and have a wonderful day! ⌚
