phelps22 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 UPDATE: All of the artwork is finished. I added 3 more dials to the lineup, so the list has been expanded to: No-date: -Rolex 1016 -Rolex 5513 -Rolex Comex 5514 -Rolex 5517 Military -Rolex 6538 "Bond" Gilt - Attached a little preview Date: -Rolex 1665 drsd MK II -Rolex 1680 red MK III -Rolex 1680 white sub I begin the printing process this week, and will receive my dial blanks in the next 3 weeks. I need some input on the 1016 Explorer dial, as Ingod, Phong, NDT, all have different dial sizes. For those interested in a 1016 dial, what size would be best? 28mm (gen spec), 29mm, or 26.5mm? - Whoop 28mm (gen spec) for the 1016 dial all the way. I don't know why ingod does it but they list all their dials at 26.5mm but they all very in size depending on the ref.
whoopy12 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Posted March 24, 2013 I'm in for a 5513. Will this be for ETA movements or gen? These will all be for ETA movements. NO singer stamps of any kind. I want these to look great, but at the same time not become infamous on Rolex forums - Don't want anyone misrepresenting these in the future. 28mm (gen spec) for the 1016 dial all the way. I don't know why ingod does it but they list all their dials at 26.5mm but they all very in size depending on the ref. 28mm it is

The Yuki dial has the numbers spaced to far from the indices. 1
aeromatic Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Plus 1 ! Tudor rose, tudor flake, black blue and tropics colour i will buy them and then build a watch around them a bit like buying a set of chrome wide wheels and the building a car to sit on them ! ! What about some Tudor dials if you can too
whoopy12 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Plus 1 ! Tudor rose, tudor flake, black blue and tropics colour i will buy them and then build a watch around them a bit like buying a set of chrome wide wheels and the building a car to sit on them ! ! I would design more, but getting this far has been a headache and a half Do you know how much a dial will be? Pricing will be comparable to Ingod/NDT. 2 color dials/dials with datewindows will be more expensive. *5517 goodies Edited March 29, 2013 by whoopy12

I really should just post ALL dial samples 1
tomhorn Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 I really should just post ALL dial samples I'm in! I should probably ask how much first ...

dutchguy2 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Wow, yes a 1016 dial.Would prefer it even without lume.
jasonwinslow Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Looks like there's a lot of interest in 1016 dials!
whoopy12 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Posted May 5, 2013 hi whoopy, any updates? I was hoping my next update would include pictures of the finished dials, but alas! I am currently waiting for the custom ink/dials to arrive. Once they're here I will begin the pad-printing process, post pictures, and set up a thread in the sales section. I'm pretty stoked that this project is near completion! Finally I can contribute something to the RWG community - whoop
Nanuq Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 You mentioned tropical effects... I'd take a tropical gilt 6538 if one showed up.
Chuck P Posted May 6, 2013 Report Posted May 6, 2013 I hope to heck I don't see the sale post too late!
