Londongeorge87 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 So - DW has the best dial apparently, does anyone though have any ideas how to get the correct subdial profile via a mod? This would be awesome if it could be done - maybe the illusion of the recess could be created with diff paint tone or maybe it could be pressed into the dial slightly. Any ideas? Would be an awesome finishing touch to all those nice Homeplate builds out there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongeorge87 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Was thinking maybe a ring of matte finish, or the centre with a matte finish. The contrast would make it look recessed as per gen. Has anyone else thought of this 'flaw'? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbear2008 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 The subdial issue is barely visible in real live. What bothers me most is the printing of the orange 60 minute track on the dial. It should be more pronounced, similar color as the 3 o'clock sub dial orange and not fading under UV as the DW ones does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongeorge87 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Can this be sorted out too with some very careful work? The subdial thing bothers me more, the orange numbers could just be faded so passable in my eyes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropbear2008 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I think you are out of luck with the subdials. There was / is a project with DW to reproduce more accurate Home plate and Daytona dials but I am not sure if this will lead to results any time soon.

Londongeorge87 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Ahh where is that project, is there a thread? I feel there is easily demand enough for it - just need to put a bit of pressure on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
