help needed to source certain parts

Post by g3rald »

good day ,

senario is i bought a 47mm rad case frim alie***** and they sent me a 45mm one so my initial plan of a using my dial n hands are ruined.
i figured i will go for a fantasy 45mm 2533 build instead.

qn : anywhere except getat i can get a 2533 dial , sterile or with RP text at a reasonable price?
hands ?

look forward to ur advises.

ps: getat not responding and i read the shipping time is horrid . true?

Yup, true, waiting since over a month. Communication got better, but shipping is horrid.
But the aliex customer service usually is great and in my experience they will send you the correct case/refund you if you open up a dispute.
There were some dealers at Ali who had sterile 2533 dials, but in expericence the lume is the worst.

Getat has improved by leaps and bounds. I ordered 2 cases last month and it arrived in exactly 15days. You could give getat a try. Try sending a mail to info@getatwatch.com

Problem with Aliexpress or the bay is, that the diameter of the dial is probably 39mm.
For Rad-Cases here you need 37mm

When sterile is OK, rmcsherry ( member here) makes excellent work. He can also provide custom hands.
It may be worth to ask River if he sells 2533.
And of course ask pvirus if he can make one.
