How Hard Is It To Correct Panerai Font Problems?

[cls]

Can't we get with a dealer with something like this that can be sent to a manufacturer?

That would be too easy.

Hey CLS, Send it to Davidsen!

I'll get in touch with him, if he can print, I can supply the font in any format.

I think that is what is needed. If you have this as a font (which must be non-standard due to the A's) and can give that to the manufacturers - then they could fix the dials. I bet they are using something like Arial or Hevetica or something similar.

What font is it? It is one you can purchase or did you modify one?

It is simply Helvetica. Each line has different kerning and height and width, here is the exact logo which was laid over a scan of a 111 face.

I've never understood how they can make complex CAD files to CNC a 1:1 case, yet can't get simple things correct like the font - all they've got to do is play with existing fonts, or spend 5 minutes tracing a high-def picture. The 201A is in huge demand, and they still can't rep it accurately - yet the original blueprints exist on the net. Surely this makes their work easier?!

I fully agree. Please note my thread HERE

Helvetica? Unbelieveable. Ok - the request goes out - please someone fix the font on the following dials:

PAM 063

PAM 253

Pretty please? You will have many engrained and new buyers who will come out of the woodwork

It's an easy fix but a difficult print. Put me in touch with someone who can print dials and I will supply the artwork.

The font on my 177H from EL is perfect

So some factories are getting it right...

[cskent69]

Yeah - some are starting to get close. The closest dial I have seen lately is actually the PAM 88 and 89. The "A" is pretty close. It has problems with the GMT hand and the L SWISS MADE L - but otherwise - it is pretty close.
