korneevy Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) very difficult to take this picture Mate, can I recommend you getting a decent camera and taking some good HQ shots, focusing on the indexes, lettering and the logo? Honestly, in some photos the indexes look very rough, edges are uneven and lettering appears too be not crisp and somewhat much fatter than the prototype you showed. Will be of great help to all of us, and I hope these smartphone photos do not do justice to your work. Thank you!

ogladio Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Was this a binding signup list or an interest list? I interpreted OP as the former, but topic name is confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlocktime Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I would call this a binding sign up list, but if anyone wants to flake out on a 202a non matching feel free to let SD sell it to me;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steph_dexter Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 hi guys not such a good news on the 201A i have to return to pad printing step since it was missed align Couldnt really tell when it was a black painted dial, but after filling the indicase...oh boy its shown Here is what ill do, ill send the 202A to those member who send the payment. And the 201A after fixing the print sorry, its totally different phenomena doing only 1 vs massive @ubiquitous pm send Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korneevy Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I guess it is ok as long as you get the final product right! That's why I am in favor of showing the final version in detail before collecting payments, you know 100% what you are selling and members know what they are paying for, no surprises and no mocking around with exchanges, refunds etc. clearly, no shortage of interest and you will easily sell whatever good stock you have, so take time, no rush...

Grimlocktime Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) And here's another gen with thicker markers and numbers. There was clearly a fair amount of manufacturing variation Edited September 16, 2013 by Grimlocktime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 SD- Just keep doing what you are doing. It will always be trial and error. Just look at the variation on the gen dials. Thin indices, thick indices, discolored tritium, etc. But yeah, we will wait as long as it takes to get the PAD printing correct. That is critical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomic_doug Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 There was clearly a fair amount of manufacturing variation Considering they were all done completely by hand and a fair amount of dials were sold with known botches, old Panerai was no model of QC.

torresp Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 I think SD is making an excellent effort at these dials, and am eager to see one in hand. Keep up the great work! Hi R. I just receive my 202a with a couple of 201a (matching and non-matching) SD send me by mistake and I can assure you that those dials are amazing... I didn't want to take pics of them and now are on their way back to SD but just a quick pics from the 202a taken with my iphone (which sucks, by the way): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
