PeteM Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just tearing down the new 253 or rather trying to !! And thought I would post some pics of the dial without the crystal just to show the texture of the waffle dial etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cskent69 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 S#!T -- that is pretty well done! Now, if only they could fix that second hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Nico Dont worry mate, I used a very small hammer and tapped very gently I just need to find a brick to get the crystal out and I am sorted S#!T -- that is pretty well done! Now, if only they could fix that second hand... Which one the Chrono hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaifender Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 What's wrong with the second hand????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinsk Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 So, what are your thoughts compared to gen? Waffle still looks a little shallower compared to pics I've seen of the gen. Great job with the macros btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabler Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Is the blue colour incorrect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangers158 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Does not occur to me there is anything really wrong with the sec hand... Blue colour of the hand is probably as close as gen it is going to get... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Is the blue colour incorrect? Blue color has FINALLY been corrected. The color is correct. The dial is even correct on this model for once! Font thickness is also correct Does not occur to me there is anything really wrong with the sec hand... Blue colour of the hand is probably as close as gen it is going to get... exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 This one is as close as it's going to get. An amazing dial reproduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapman57 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Great pictures Pete and a great looking dial. I have some sticky tape and glue if you need them for the rebuild ..... Edited January 23, 2011 by PMMUTD68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Heres a couple of decent gen pics for comparison in respect of waffle, Chrono hand and dial inscriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
