chris5264 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I also have the older version, but I'm very tempted to see if I can just buy the new dial and replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1973 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) You guys really like the new dial? Hmmm... don´t know. IMHO the numbers are way to fat. The first generation dial numbers were a bit better (again, in my humble opinion). Gen dial: And a great resource over there: 201a BIG PICS Edited October 13, 2006 by mr1973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think getting the texture of the gen dial exact will be very difficult. It has depth like a sandwich dial, but almost like the lum was carved out after it was applied. Seems like it would be very difficult to get right.

These dials were engraved, not a sandwich, and the lume was applied in the floor and the sides of the engraved channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1973 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Thanks Mate, but I´m around for a loooong time ;-) over at trc (even the header graphics are made by me ;-)) and the ole rwg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Thanks Mate, but I´m around for a loooong time ;-) over at trc (even the header graphics are made by me ;-)) and the ole rwg. Just noticed that and the av looked familiar!! I will let you all into a small secret - there is a remote possibilty that a correct CG for these might - I say might - be being worked on at some point in the near future. Not promising anything yet but let's keep our fingers crossed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1973 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 but let's keep our fingers crossed!!
