And They Said It Couldn't Be Done...

It's a prototype piece to check overall fit and function. Fine details are being addressed, pressed, smoothed and ironed out, but I can assure the following:

-Flat Top 3's

-Closed '6' on the 26

-Large, Bold font

-Date rotation in the correct direction

And there's even more in store beyond that.

Finally... The vintage freaks will have the correct date font for our 1680's/1665's/1675's/1655's...

That's just dot-gain and bleed. Nothing that can't be dialled out. :D

Nice work.

There's a bit of that in this version, and also the fact that this wheel was printed in the late 50's using late 50's technology. Every number on the wheel is different, and each is flawed by todays printing standard. The task before us is a balance between preserving as many of Rolex's "flaws" while eliminating the flaws caused by our technology....which is not easy because sometimes getting rid of one gets rid of the other. Any input you might have, pugwash, would be greatly appreciated...and (modestly as per our means) rewarded.

As we move along it's becoming clear that we're having to work more than a few numbers by hand, so patience is a must, guys.
