Vintage DWOs

Thanks Rolo.

[JoeyB]

That is true, it is not as sharp as the autocad.

[highoeyazmuhudee]

i have also started an ETA version based on your jpg rolo. probably not as crisp since its a raster, will share when done later today

[dieselpower]

Jeez, you guys. All this computer speak is making my head spin. Anybody remember the Sinclair ZX81?

[highoeyazmuhudee]

i spent 4 hours reversing and cleaning up the numbers.

hows this looking? low quality laser draft

im thinking in between waiting for my cases to get sorted out; i ll attempt to make cheap, high quality , professionally made over lays for the people of this forum, we deserve it. if rolo can come up with a vector based ETA version that would be ideal in maintaining crispness, thanks for the high quality image none the less

[mjmj]

H, looks very promising.. It is nicely centred in the dw.

[Ephry73]

I want that dial HH

[rolojack]

I'm glad I gave you guys my file !!! I'll try to do that next week and get back to you.

[FxrAndy]

here is a vectorised version

[cyphion]

That looks great in vector format

Just finished a 16014 franken ... and already I'm going to have to upgrade. Excellent work all. I'm in for a couple if the project comes together.

[highoeyazmuhudee]

i reversed rolo's, feel free to use, i wasnt sure if he was making one in autocad for eta, but if he does it *might* be better.

print at 22.74mm square

[Ephry73]

Nice, very nice. HH how are the dials working out?

[rolojack]

Great !!!! It looks like I don't have to redo it after all.... Good job !

[Tonyyammine]

Did anyone make the flatop in silver? I would like some.

[whoopy12]

I second this.

[FxrAndy]

Look in my signature

I too have a eta corrected dwo but never found a print shop to make them up. It is not as good as the ones here, but it is a flat top 3 and open 6 and 9.  If anyone can find a print ship to make these, they'd be a hot sell.

I think RolexAddict can help you with this

Can RA print off the red and black numbered dwo's? Thinking of starting a 6542 white pan am or a pcg white pan am:)

This thread may help. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/150660-vintage-dwos/page-2

 

I did the red/black on the one that was posted. It can be downloaded, sized  and printed using your photo program.

Another question:

how thick can the dwo be, before it will interfere with the dial?

standard dwo's from the cartel are .004 inches thick. I found a good metalic card stock that is .008 inches thick.

Does anyone know if this will work, or is it too thick?

[Martyd3]

I'm in for a few of these and would contribute to fund the project.  I may even have someone that can print them.  Please shoot me a PM.

I printed out a vintage overlay and installed it in my new 16014 datejust franken. I'm still not in love with the sharpness of the text--my photo printer is 8 years old. But you have to get close up to notice any rough edges. As of now, I'm using Epson matte presentation paper; it's very thin , but the print isn't raised . I will try some white decal paper next.

The other issue I have is that the size isn't quite right just yet. Resizing the wheel and aligning it to the window is a real headache without dial feet. Maybe six of the dates are off a bit. But the font is so large on my wheel that its easy to see. Finally, please post if you have a clear open 6 and 9 overlay for the 3035 movement (with the ETA ordering).
