Hi Randy my friend,

looks good to me...

I saw an other mod for flat 3 but it was hard to do....

Hope to see more...

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...

Fantastic! I was just looking for a reason to go back inside the 'dwella...

[turkey]

Great news! I can't wait to hear what else is in store.

[linkukbora]

That's indeed a dream came true.......kudos for getting it done Simply flawless and can't wait to see more

[Linder]

We should all just automatically send Ubi part of our paychecks and every once in a while he can mail us something

[ubiquitous]

And here is what the project is based off of...

As promised... There is more to come. This is just a tiny taste for now...

[Bazz]

Great stuff Ubi

Been dying to see how they come out!

[relaxman]

My prayers may soon be answered :l3v:

[ubiquitous]

Remember guys... It's just the prototype It looks a bit rough now... But we're working on that!

BTW- I cannot take the credit for the hard work on these... I'm merely just showing what's in the works

[Watchmeister]

Ahh, I think I detect the first of many limited edition projects from the infamous Watchmeister group

Oh you little tease ! Great Ubi ! Hoperfully you will work your magic for the 16610s?

[relaxman]

Oh you little tease

No doubt! I use to have a girlfriend just like Ubi. Come to think of it we all have.

[truzement]

its a nice idea but it looks as if it is printed with an inktjet printer

[kingkitesurf]

I am in! Ubi another amazing upgrade...

[Watchmeister]

Inkjet? Look again. That is 1:1 of a gen datewheel. Ever tried to get a gen datewheel? Ubi might give up his...for 800 euros.

[ubiquitous]

I can assure you... It is not inkjet The printing is a bit rough... But we are working on this

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

Nice work.

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.

Aren't there are already accurate date wheels for the 16610 such as on the TWG sub. Or am I missing something?

[ubiquitous]

Ahhhh... For the 16610, there are. But for vintage jobs, like the 1680, 1665, etc, there are not...
