dear all, currently the preV basic dials 201a + 202a are ready to send them to rc tritec for indices filling in non-matched color. my plan is for the christmas days to finish the next vector graphics for further dials with our graphic design engineers. so.. it would be nice you would give a selection of dials which you would like to see and have. please post your statement. many thanks rolli

that's absolutely awesome.... top notch.. all the best rolli

perfect regards rolli

055 swiss oem dial is in the making. regards rolli

the swiss oem 172 is in the making, but a small production number. original steel hands blued by flame or oven will be made later. only one swiss company can make the blued hands. that's why the dials comes first. regards rolli

got the original surface paint rolli

additional information, i use swiss oem dial maker, that means with oem certificate, this means also they work only on almac watch making fast running cnc machines, guarantees the highest precision work. these dial maker have so many swiss customers that they have a long waiting list for the delivery time. but when i order first sample dials to check the indices fattness, which would be the best for 201a + 202a, then it goes not fast, and for the rest main batch dials i still have to wait for 2 month minimum, then all these dials are made with so many singele steps, and there is no machine which produced dials, no it is necessary also an employee. but the employees have a lot of customers working on their desc, that why all customers with the single production steps have to wait till it can go for the next step. and this step by step. and it could happen, that the galvanic bath is full for the next 3 - 4 weeks, so my dials have to wait. normally it is not necessary talk about, but some of the members not seem to understand it, why the delivery time is sometimes longer. so........ please patience everything will be fine. regards rolli

036 are completly ready also with final lettering print, i am waiting to have them here. 082 are ready for long time, but i said i will post both together in two separate threads. prices known when i have calculated all costs. 201 + 202a in production the both first sample dials will be ready hopefully soon. to check about the indices fattness. 055 bown dials and 172 tantalium are in the making beginning phase, vector graphic already done. also the PreA series will follow, and all dials in swiss oem quality made by an swiss oem dial maker. i have not the wish to make the dials with hectic and stress, so when it's ready then they are ready. the same like with some german cars, you have to wait when you buy a great german car. everybody has to wait. all the best rolli

all swiss oem dial poduction need exreme longer than shit asia dial production, and all intelligent guys know that. swiss is the best but need longer, also because there are all top watch brands they want the best swiss oem dials for all the old and new series. in swiss there are a few top oem certificate dial maker. and standard is, that the largest orders comes first and then so on, if you would buy more 100 dials then we would come on a earlier position for the production. and you forget that also all the vector graphics and very sensible detail work need time. but only the super intenlligent guys know how long it could need. or you pay 60.000 dollar and you don't need to wait. regards rolli

from D-serie and following series and some C-serie , panerai made thicker indices, the rep indices are too thin. regards rolli

yes. when i have the 036 ready and in my hand i will start an own thread here with 036 + ß82 together, the 201 + 202 in production and when they are completely ready then also the 201 + 202 topic. also the vector is ready for the brown 055, and maybe it could start short dated. regards rolli

never too late. regards rolli

on monday will start te pre vendome production, so no pictures yet. the first thread with a lot of pictures will be the oem swiss 036 together with the oem swiss 082 with all detail pics. all the best rolli

hi, i will post the 082 dials together with the 036 when the 036 are ready , circa in 14 days. regards rolli

082 ready, 036 almost ready , next week they get the final lettering print, a thread will follow. 201 + 202 dial production starts on 25. august. vector graphics is since 1 month completely ready. and i will start parallel also the preA series. all the best rolli

dials are since 1,5 month ready, but had not much time to make perfect photos. but they will come. for this i need mood and time. a few are sold. this is a high light. rolli

the 082 dials are ready for sale. rolli

here you see how slim have to be the lettering print. on your dial it looks too fat. pre vendome dials have a slim letter line thickness also. that's why the vector graphic designer has to control it and to draw it, then the cliche brings a toleance and the pad print pressure brings a tolerance and all tolerances makes the letter line thicker and you have a fat lettering on the dial. it's not as easy as you think. regards rolli

hahaa.. you have eagle eyes. yes on the left it is the gen one. the sapphire was burst in thousend pieces and damaged the gen dial which is on the left. so i could buy it, and the dial maker saw in this moment, oooohhh this will be a difficult process. midnight blue with vertical brushing lines in the right deepness and sharpness will be a hard challenge. and after three galvanic series for trash he got it. this galvanic process is totally different to all other galvanic processes and colors. this midnight blue change to fast the color to black with rainbow effects, so how long was the best diving time before it change the color and as result deep midnight blue. it was only possible with many chrome salts ( it's a deposit process )more than normal. but the dialmaker made a perfect job. in a ti case it is an eye catcher and for sure a daily beater. here additional pics before lume filling. 7 dials are complete ready. all the best rolli

this is a professional print. one side is a genuine dial rolli

rolli's 201a and 202a comes direct after the 036 and faster as thought. for 1:1 oem swis standard and quality you have to use a oem dial maker with the top computer controlled digital machines also for print. it regulae the print pressure too and the cliche is depending from the perfect accurate vector graphic. i self studied and used a training course for vector graphic. i studied adobe illustrator and i am perfect to work with it. but i use a graphic designer with a profession experience of more than 20 years. i studied it to control all details, including the print details and materials etc etc. only berlac AG paint from the pint group 043 baking varnishes with the right viscosity for lettering print makes a perfect print. on the vector graphic must be a little trick to get the right print cliche, that the final print is inthe perfect final letter line thickness. informations from the pad print machine factory would be very important and from a pad machine printer with master certificate are the informations more than helpful. but it must be a printer for high end oem dials . to study different fields can be never wrong. greetings rolli

matching means the hands have the same patina on the tritium like the indices on the dial. tritium is coloreless and was mixed with color pigment poweder C3, also the hands, but the hands couldn't get the resin varnish for the mix, the hands tritium got a standard matt vernish for a also a better hold in the cut-out of the hands. the dial indices got the tritium with a tritium resin varnish uv 820 ( same like i get ) the resin varnish is not uv resistant, and after the filling of each marker or nimeral, the slightly domed resin varnish had to be stoped the shrunk effect on the dial indices by usoing an uv desk lamp and stoped the shrink and consistence and visicosity effect, that the indices kept its dome shape. the patina came mostly throught resin varnish and got the coor yellowed over the time more and more up to slightly orange, the hands kept the C3 color, maybe a litlle bit little bit yellow or ovory, so.. the differences in color, dial yellowed, hands whitish cream C3 = non matched. it was alo a assumption that the old chief dino zei or one of the design engineer made the decision that the nonmatched effect between hands and dial was intended. and some hands got a varnish which was also not uv resitant, and this also not sesistant, and changed also the color and got patina. and so they called = matched. rolli

many thanks for help and recommendations greetings rolli

hi all, where is to get this buckle in titanium ??? many thanks rolli
