Custom datewheel for (franken) AP ROO, are you interested? How many to produce?


Recommended Posts

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. :clown:

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... ;):)

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.

I'm in for 1 if you still have it available. Please PM me details.

 

I just got a ROO-RC and a gen dial. I'm sure I'll need a white date-wheel at some point, so if it's available...I may as well!
