danielv2000 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 Here are pics I just obtained from MQ for a Paul Newman exotic dial. Comments, opinions, thoughts... Personally, my jaw is still on the floor... Thanks
torresp Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 Mine too, wrong subdial font @6 and wrong t-swiss-t but otherwise amazing... go for it!
danielv2000 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 I'm digging the coronet a lot! That's what I said! I had to make sure I wasn't on Stefano's site when I was looking at this one! Sick Thanks again for the help! ;-) Mine too, wrong subdial font @6 and wrong t-swiss-t but otherwise amazing... go for it! Yes, subtle differences, I agree.

Personally, my jaw is still on the floor... Me likee. He even got the wide P in COSMOGRAPH, which is a 1st on a rep Newman dial. Overall, it looks better than my MQ, even with its gen crown. Did he give you a price quote?

freddy333 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 <p>it will be over $1,000. Me no-likee.

danielv2000 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Posted October 21, 2012 Well, it's about 33% more than Phong. I have not posted any of Phong's pics but it does look notably better. Is it worth 33% more? That's in the eye of the beholder.
red series 3 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 It looks to me as though the outer track is at the same height as the main dial. I think the outer track is supposed to be sunken

I think the outer track is supposed to be sunken Yes, correct, but no rep Newman dial has this feature (yet). Dial is very nice. Looks like he fixed the subdial indices issue. Now they go all the way to the end of subdial, like the gen. Among other things, still a bit too much space between subdial numbers and outer edge of subdial. Also, T Swiss T is too long. That would be an instant tell. IMO, hands down the best rep Newman dial currently available.
