but when this case is an old standard case, then the right-side lug holes have 1,8 mm diameter. all handwind pam cases which i have, have a long spindle screw of 1,8mm diameter. that means, when i want to use the prev double-screw-strap-attachment-system, then the screw-heads must be 1,75 - 1,78mm diameter. and when you use the screw-head with 1,6mm, then they don't fit perfectly. they have too much clearance. rolli

simply perfect.. wear it well.. rolli

new thread length = 3,6mm ( the case crown-guard screw hole is deep 4,0mm ), the rep screw has 3,0mm thread length. new round-head = 2,8mm diameter and 1,3mm height. the slit have to be reworked deeper. the v-crown-guard screw-holes are a bit smaller in the diameter, thats why my screws have a head-diameter of 2,8 mm. rolli

amazing... he did a mega job. all characteristics are existing. even the fixed strap attachment spindles. and the climax the angelus 8 days movement. not bad... rolli

yes, it's very simple. i've bought a package cylindric-slit-head m2 ( 2,0mm diameter thread ) stainless steel screws with a thread length of 4,0mm. my watchmaker reworked them as needed to a round-head screw with the necessary new measurements. new thread length = 3,6mm ( the case crown-guard screw hole is deep 4,0mm ), the rep screw has 3,0mm thread length. new round-head = 2,8mm diameter and 1,3mm height. the slit have to be reworked deeper. very easy to do this. rolli

hahahaah....why can you say the game is over ???????????? you know the kids need their playground. rolli

dear friends, please no further discussions about the numerals / logo shape and size. i think it's said enough. nobody on this forum did ever work together with a dial maker, and made its own experiences with all the complications with vector graphic and design layout. you can give many image examples or whatever for the correct dial design / layout. but first you get always a dial with many flaws. and you think by yourself, wow... the dial maker need a large eye glass. no....it's very hard, and i say very very hard to make the correct design / layout from images with a vector graphic with illustrator. all other programs are not perfect. the result is, you have to make many samples and tests together with the dial maker before you get a good result. and important is the dial maker must have a lot of time for you and for your work. and believe me, thats very expensive. FGD knows exactly what i mean. he made the same experiences. we will work together with a reasonable spadework and with a local dial maker. and till we get the first workable solution and result, please be patient, then we can start a discussion. rolli

but my taste is when the dial has minimum a good lume power. rolli

the davidsen dial has a really good luminosity. rolli
