HauteHippie Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I'd be fine with white. The new ones are much whiter anyhow. Good luck.
edgematic1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks guys. This process is going very slow, the maker is quite busy. But I'm hammering for good quality and not for speed. I hope you understand.
Watchmeister Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 And the beauty of this project is that when it is done all we have to do is get our hands on gen dials for the new models and reverse the colors on the datewheels since a number of the newer models now have black background datewheels. Just torturing you Edge.
edgematic1 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 Hahaha, thanks for the support W. If we ever can find those new gen dials...
edgematic1 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Posted February 13, 2013 Guys, another update, after having lot's of trouble with the original DW manufacturer I have decided to go with another company which has been very professional this far. The datewheels will be produced by one of the Swiss leading DW manufacturers. Yes, you've read it well. The cost of the final datewheel will be $51 + shipping. Not cheap but reason is that it's a small DW run (only for franken AP ROO's) + it's made in Switzerland. Lead time is around 5-6 weeks since they need to make a brand new printing plate for the correct font. The only thing left now is the colour match, this will be done by tomorrow and then they will start. I hope you guys are still interested cuz I'm investing... Updates will follow
Watchmeister Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Very exciting. Can't wait for the results.
edgematic1 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Posted February 25, 2013 Payment sent, confirmed, now 5-6 weeks to go!
HauteHippie Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Very good news. I'm excited. Now W we have to revive a certain other AP ROO related project! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

fitipaldi Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Wow, good news!! Now, I'm impatiently waiting for the A7750 DW run
edgematic1 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 The datewheels should have been finalised last week. Today I received the message that they are finished and are being shipped tomorrow from Switzerland. So I should get them by the end of the week. I'll post pics and thoughts then. This is good news.
