janeto72 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 So here's the deal, the current TC Submariner Date wheel overlay for the ETA 2824 has a grayish background.Which is not correct.The background should be white.We as a group can have that changed; but we need a commitment of 200 orders to realize this change.Your investment would be minimum.This would give us the most accurate and finest DWO available to the market. What is so special about the TC Date Wheel Overlay you ask? It has a crisp, sharp text and font, it has alignment marks to align it easily to any ETA 2824 movement.It is made of thin metal foil stock; but most important, it has one gen like feature that all other DWO's don't or never have had.The date font is a raised print.This feature alone makes the TC datewheel the finest available. As well, you could even use this DWO in your other ETA projects and really make your watch stand out.......Now remember TC doesn't make any money on this.This is his offering to the community.A group purchase gives us power to buy product and make changes to improve product. If you are interested, please list your name in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolchu001 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Count me in for 4; its a big difference when place side by side next to a BK DWO; difference is minimal once installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 and what makes you think theyll correctly change it just for us? ive dealt with factories before its a can of worms. first get them to produce a case with out a V serial so TC doesnt have to sand it off and maybe i ll believe they'll change the color from grey to white for us. grey is also probably an unintenional result and has nothing to do with getting the color picker wrong. and most MOQs are 350-500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 The greyish look is more that they have used a thin layer of white paint before applying the print. I have a date wheel from a 1:1sd 16600 with a very crisp white background in my tc sub and the difference is night and day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeto72 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 So the new TC Date wheel overlay will be a go ahead as long as we commit to a minimum of 200 pieces. The factory will make the new improved TC DWO with the white background and raised print.This will be the finest DWO produced, crisp font, white background, raised glossy black print. The cost for the DWO will be $15.00 USD.Please commit and add your name to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJack Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I only need one, but count me in. I bought the DW overlay with some other parts from TC and was very pleased with everything else, but not the DW overlay. To say they are grey is almost an understatement. I layed it next to a gen DW and it was like night and day. But what was very impressive is the font, size and the layered ink look on TC's; one to one with a gen! Just the damn color of the backround that ruined it for me. This is the last part I need to finish my uber-franken sub. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 this is going to be the best gen looking DWO. Raised, crisp,gloss black font with a white background.You will be hard pressed to find anything close to it, except gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w.genzo Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 It should fit modern sub/gmt/ym/sd/dj as long as the gen has a modern 3035/3135/3085.. movement otherwise fonts would be incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
