SD PreV dial interest

Back to the original thread for a moment.

I received this 202a dial in the post this weekend from SD. These are very nicely printed and striking to look at in a DLC'd case. Thank you Stephen, this is a fun dial to wear!

here you see how slim have to be the lettering print.

 

on your dial it looks too fat.  pre vendome dials have a slim letter line thickness also.

 

that's why the vector graphic designer has to control it and to draw it, then the cliche brings a toleance and the pad print pressure brings a tolerance

and all tolerances makes the letter line thicker and you have a fat lettering on the dial.

it's not as easy as you think.

I agree Rolli, the printer did SD no favors on his project. FGD and Southy had provided a great effort with their dials and the pad printing was far superior to these. SD's was on track to be of really good quality as well, too bad.

Your new dial has incredible detail in the reproduction. Looking forward to the final product with lume installed.

yes.

 

when i have the 036 ready and in my hand i will start an own thread here with 036 + ß82 together,

 

the 201 + 202 in production and when they are completely ready then also the 201 + 202 topic.

 

also the vector is ready for the brown 055, and maybe it could start short dated.

 

regards
