ubiquitous Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I can assure you... It is not inkjet The printing is a bit rough... But we are working on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 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.

archibald Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 That's just dot-gain and bleed. Nothing that can't be dialled out. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Oh you little tease ! Great Ubi ! Hoperfully you will work your magic for the 16610s? Aren't there are already accurate date wheels for the 16610 such as on the TWG sub. Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Ahhhh... For the 16610, there are. But for vintage jobs, like the 1680, 1665, etc, there are not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
