Can't say anything more, I remember him since the old good days, now more than a decade ago...

May he rest in peace

See you later Ben

I see Serif on 202 & 203 but frankly not on the 201, the 201 fonts are different.

+1. Your first 201a version was better, I hope it can be modified in the final printing.

Sorry I don't have a better picture at the moment, but my Whoopy dial does not have the font bleed problem of the dial above.

 

 

Mine neither, I'm still thinking Whoop's are the best (once again IMHO)... the open 6 and the Ft vary depending on the printing: first dials in the batch has very clear fonts and latest ones has no so clear printing. 

Anyway if you're enough expert to detect a whoop dial, you're proficient also to detect a Phong or HH's cases or the caseback engravings so no way to foolish a comex expert with the spare parts available at the moment no matter what kind on gen dial, movement or insert you have...

Best comex dial for your project are whoopy's hands down, take a look at this post:

http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/160148-whoopys-dial-project-preorder-list/page-4?hl=%20comex

You need to get it relumed and trimmed down a bit to fit HH or Phong's case, other than that there's no other dial around.

Hi SD, sorry to hear that... as FGD says it sucks

From my 0,02 cents take the time you need to get the printing perfect, I will be waiting...

Keep 'em coming!

Niiice!

Painted or toasted subdials?

hum, that 6538... seems you're going to have a lot of work in the coming weeks...

where did the case come from?

best

Amazing job A, I'm in for sure.

What's about your 6538 case project?

Speechless...

I honestly envy your patience for hunting

Wear it well mate 

Whatever you want...

That case was made (with this crown) till 2,4 million serial. I have a red 1680 from '72 with that crown so a feet first dial will be ok also.

Well, non-profi pictures on a non-profi dial with a non-profi watch... 

... but looks amazing to me

Thanks SD for make it happen!

and a gen for comparo:

ok, finally I managed to take some pics... excuse the dust and the fingerprints.

As I said, quality is amazing in person... enjoy it!

Notice that the dial hasn't a backplate so number kept a lot of light, it would be solved with the proper back.

Is the dial supposed to have a semigloss finish? The ones shown appear quite matte.

Will try to take more quality pics as soon I arrive home...

I think SD is making an excellent effort at these dials, and am eager to see one in hand.

 

Keep up the great work!

Hi R.

I just receive my 202a with a couple of 201a (matching and non-matching) SD send me by mistake and I can assure you that those dials are amazing...

I didn't want to take pics of them and now are on their way back to SD but just a quick pics from the 202a taken with my iphone (which sucks, by the way):

Hi R. I've used clarks hand with a very satisfactory result.

Hope it helps.

I suspect that like me everyone else is happy to be patient. Many of us have been waiting for a quantum leap in Pre-V dials like this for years. Thanks for your continued heroic effort. No one is going anywhere.

+1, take your time... what it's important is the final result, that's what will remain

Thanks for your efforts-

Thanks for the info mate !

 

This is very sad to see this project finally don't finish as expected, especially when I see the 5514 COMEX dial whoopy's made...!!!

+1 that was a real pity... now I have more whoopy's dials on route than cases

Damn, can't get enough
