Do any dealers specialize in Datejust dials?

Looking to complete a 1601 datejust project. Wouldn't mind an interesting dial to finish it off with. Maybe blue, black, slate, buckley, etc. Any places fit the bill?

Check out First Class Dials, located in Los Angeles I think. Not sure how much of a selection they have, but I've dealt with them and found them to be professional and courteous.

Good 16xx dials are becoming scarce even common ones...what once was road fill is now expensive. People are also getting very picky about lume dots and things that were reasonably inconsequential in the past because these were not rare dials.

Michael Young has a bunch of them on his page in the $300-400US range

He has a gorgeous tuxedo dial on there that would be a great fit if you want something different.

First Class Dials is good, and so is Swiss Dials. Last I checked, First Class had 2 1601 dials available. I can't remember what Swiss Dials has. I do know that they are factory original. You can also try B. Grey Jewelers. I know they have dials for DJ there as well, but I have never personally dealt with them.

If 1601 dials have Swiss made rather than the typical t swiss t, I'm to assume they were service dials?
