Who could source me a black 16013 dial?

As stated above...I have a project that I am working on an need a glossy black 16013 dial (without the “rail”). Seems like they are not available from Rolex anymore and couldn’t find one on VRM, Watchrecon or Chrono24...where can I turn to?

Try firstclassdials.com they usually have a pretty good selection. You could always have another color dial refinished. Projects are usually not all about originality anyway.

And don’t get me wrong - as an aspiring hobbyist watchbreaker I love a good project. More enjoyable than vintage safe queens imho.

Thanks, I have tried them as well but they only have a matte 16013 dial in stock...
