Thinking about changing up the clock's face in my car. Would like to know it's dimensions.

 

Good question . . . can you not pop the clock+vent wood veneer panel off and measure it? It comes off quite easily. The only precaution is to work it off equally in all 4 corners without twisting.

Best wishes,

The less I handle that brittle dash the better lol. I'd like to open it once to refit clock, then be done with it.

 

I have one on my desk, what you want to know?

 

How big is the dial/face ? My plan is to fit a high end watch's face over or replace the OEM one.

 

The dial/face has a diameter of 38mm, maybe a hair less (37.5mm should do).

In the original design (generation I), the face is recessed in a plastic housing.
I don't want to destroy mine, but I think you probably can remove the original face to prevent a too thick of stacking.

The center hole in the face is ~2mm.

 

That's near perfect for what I have in mind ! I'm going to buy one off E-Bay to experiment w/ first.

Thanks !

 

Finally found a black Rolex submariner no-date face. I plan on doing some clock surgery very soon lol.

 

Take the Jaguar face and turn it into a watch.

 

Not sure I'd like that on my wrist lol.

 

So apparently my "esteemed master watch smith" vendor did not measure it accurately, it is several mm's smaller than described & will just look tacky/out of place if used. On the plus side I found a local guy who is buying the dial for almost double what I paid, all's well that ends well lol.
