jmb Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Getting back to my "budget roots" I decided to brew up what I hoped would be a passable (one meter test) gilt 7928. I worked up the artworkk from pictures on the net and made some decals yesterday. I made this one 28.5mm to fit this particular case and used an Asian 2824 to power it. It's finished off with a rep riveted bracelet and funky case-back engraving. It's not perfect but looks nice on the wrist and I deem it "wearable" anywhere where WISes aren't coming out of the woodwork. Here's some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 That would be easy. I would just need to delete the line about the 6:00 marker and do everything in gold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Looks great J! Now you just need to file down those cgs to a point and run another dial in gold. Here's a 7924 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I used this particular one as my example but it would be simple to make an all gold dial... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm thinking that the dial that you copied is a 1963 dial where they put the registration line under the printing and then added the T's either side of the Swiss at the bottom. So it would be at the point when they first started using tritium. Around that time they were also switching from gilt lettering to white. Pretty good for something you just whipped up!

Ephry73 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I definitely want to jump on one of the 7928s. Is there a PCG that looks more like a Cornino than a regular PCG? JMB, I sent you a PM E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tghodin Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 great job! Been fun to follow this work as it has gone from sketches to really good prints! Best of luck in trimming it and end up swimming in dial orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Although Ken has dials in the 26mm range, I would like to try this as an alternative first. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
