whoopy12 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 UPDATE: As of now, 11 orders have been completed. Once the remaining 5 have been logged, I will send the custom brass dials to the printing factory. In addition, once the rest of the orders have been confirmed, I will be raffling off two 20mm isofrane-type bands to the preorder-ers who have helped realize this project!

whoopy12 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 UPDATE #3 Still waiting on the remaining preorderer, and then things will move forward. I have also decided to change the 5513 dial in the lineup (it was originally going to be 1 color - white ink). I designed it using an HD reference picture of a 5513 gilt dial: the final product will be real gilt (not golden ink). These will end up being $190 methinks. Gen for comparison: http://rolexpassionmarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/5513gilt19653.jpg stay tuned, - whoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Are you adding additional slots to the preorder list for this new dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Are you adding additional slots to the preorder list for this new dial? The original preorder list was put together in an effort to fund the printing of 7 designs. At this time, anyone is welcome to preorder dials to ensure that they receive a dial, as I'm only printing 1 batch, but the raffle will only include the original members who preordered. In short, yes you can preorder this dial - just pm me. - whoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maybe I'm stupid but it looked like you were only going to print 20 dials in total, then quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maybe I'm stupid but it looked like you were only going to print 20 dials in total, then quit. 20 orders were needed to fund the printing: more than 20 dials will be printed in this order. Factories have a MOQ (minimum order quantity), while my quantity still falls short of the average moq (200), my printing contact has a good relationship with a factory and convinced them to print the order.

whoopy12 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 UPDATE #4 We're getting closer! Just made the first of 2 payments to the dial factory + shipped out the custom gen spec dials. I've been busy the last few days creating the appropriate files for the dial factory to use for production. Coreldraw is a common vector program used by many factories in China. I created all of the dial designs using illustrator, so each file needed to be converted accordingly. This required me to purchase Coreldraw and after several frustrating hours of digging through illustrator/Coreldraw forums I was able to do the necessary conversions (you wouldn't believe how different the 2 programs are). After using the random number generator here: http://www.this-play.nl/randomnumber/ The 2 isostyle strap winners are: 14. CptTripps 10. dieselpower I will ship your straps asap! stay tuned for more updates - whoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero_Dave Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Congrats to the two winners. Can't wait to see a finished product. Thanks again Whoopy's for all of your hard work on this project. Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoopy12 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Whoopy's, any update on the dial project? Thanks, Dave... Updates indeed! UPDATE #5 Dials arrived at the factory yesterday. Film (a negative of sorts) based off of the corel draw files I mentioned earlier will be created for each dial on Monday-Tuesday. I have not been informed of EXACTLY how long printing will take (after the films have been made), but the whole process so far has been very quick and professional. To me, this phrase, "quick and professional" doesn't crop up often in this hobby, so I'm delighted with the progress thus far. Also, 200th post! More updates as I get them! - whoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Jeez! I won, I won! Probably the first raffle I've ever won in my life. Thanks whoop my friday night g&t will taste that much sweeter! Three cheers for the whoopster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptTripps Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 The 2 isostyle strap winners are: 14. CptTripps 10. dieselpower So I get this random strap yesterday and I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what I ordered by mistake. I spent an hour combing through eBay and PayPal to see what I ordered. Then I catch this thread and see my name. Hey! I won something!!! Thanks man! I'll put it on the TC Sub I got yesterday and sport it while I'm out and about this week in Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopy12 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 UPDATE #6 Films have been made! Each color warrants the creation of a separate film. In total, 9 films were created in the past two days. For dials requiring 2 colors, each film will be lined up with one another to ensure a picture perfect print (especially in the case of the Comex dial). Naturally, the next step in the process will be printing! Stay tuned for more updates! - Whoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
