  1. These bars are extremely strong and looks fantastic, they are the icing on the cake of vintage builds.
  2. LOL ! Thanks mate, I'm interested to get some at good price Sharing is the DNA of our hobby.
  3. By launching this topic in February 2016 I was far from imagining that I could achieve these results. I spent long hours retouching my Photoshop files, testing all kinds of varnishes, printing configurations, I went from raw brass dial to gold plating through the use of gold leaf, etc. I have tried to respond as well as possible to your requests for information, I have sometimes agreed to make dials, and I also know that it has allowed some of you to realize yours. I am satisfied because behind my moderate price collection project, I was able to show the potential of this technique and allowed some others to do the same. I do not have time to access all your requests for dials and I do not want to make a business, so I decided to share my files. I am not a graphic designer, my use of photoshop is pretty basic, so they are far from perfect and can certainly be improved by more experienced users. These dials and roulette were made for my projects, their dimensions may not be suitable for yours. Note that the 6538, 5512, 6542 and 1675 dials have been designed respecting the gen chapter ring 26mm diameter. I only want one thing in exchange, keep sharing your progress on this topic. Thank you for reading me gentlemen!
  4. Unfortunately gen spec "Vietnam" dials should be too small for OP case opening.
  5. Thanks mate, it's not my first contribution in this thread As a vinyl collector i have about 3000 33rpm and 500 45rpm, Funk, Disco, Blaxploition, OST, Library, essentially groovy sounds. And as for Rolex I'm a vintage HiFi afficionado, Sony PS-X60 turntable, Sansui AU-517 and Sansui AU-555a integrated amps, Pioneer HPM-100 and Cabasse Galiote speakers, Sony CDP-17F CD player.
  6. Hi V ! I'm glad to read you. Nemoto GLL-300F, matte acrylic varnish, a little bit of Sennelier Jaune de Naples pigment, and more or less Sennelier Terre de Sienne pigment for vintage colour. This recipe work well on my decals dials but I’m not sure for others. I tested several varnishes and they don't react the same way, some eat my dial varnish coat. And be very carefull on painted dials, it can crack the paint when drying
  7. Thanks ! Pan Am engraved case back is the fantasy part because there is much doubt about its real existence.
  8. Thanks it’s cool to see you’re back [emoji1303] I can’t edit the thread title unfortunately
  9. I would be honoured but I would never dare touch a gem like your 6536.
  10. It may "look" better but still a poor cheap decal... yours is GEN !
