preV dial hand made trial

[steph_dexter]

As my study of pre V,
I felt the challenge to make custom dial.

Especially after viewing this 3 images bellow



 




After many hours of vector drawing, finding source and experiment, here are the detail shot of my hand made dial (5218-201/A as trial):



font detail on pad print, as in the reference picture; the use of sanserif font brand name pad printed preV dial is incorrect :







indicase detail color filling (3D depth) mimicking the Tritium + stated in the 3 images on top that indicase was filled, not left empty...so i fill it after coloring/luming process:





So far that is my accomplishment in the trial process as noobie,
feel free to share more insight n opinion regarding gen pre V dial

Looking good, just change the "O" to a Pre-Vendome "O" and you're very close (your "O" matches the Vendome "O" shape in the test dial).

Also take the serifs back a wee bit, a hair more subtle.

And kerning needs adjustment.

Impressive work so far... looks like it could be the dial everyone has been hoping for
