[jackflash]

... And s few more.

Thanks for the update Jackflash. The printer told me that there maybe a slight discrepancy in the numbers due to the printing technique but only a slight margin of error . If you are unhappy with yours or anyone else for that matter i am happy to send you another to try at no cost

 

Please let me know

Thanks Peter, great offer. I've already ordered another one from you so let's see how that goes first. Your printer must be pulling his hair out with these micro tolerances.

Just wondering...has anyone in CONUS seen these as yet? I'm still waiting patiently. My 1675 is apart in the drawer awaiting a new DWO. It is screaming at me for wrist time.

Thanks Woof, appreciated. Still a bit hit and miss with the numbers in the window. Maybe I'm just being too picky.

Great job Jackflash and thanks for posting a pic. Yeah would be to see some more photos posted. 

 

A tip is that if you don't like the shiny surface or the brushed look, because of the indented numbers you can rub it smooth with 1200 grit sandpaper and spray over with clear flat varnish. The numbers will not be damaged and may be easier to read.

 

Any questions just ask ..

 

Here's one on my 1675. I had no alinement problems but its gone to Pbad now for a service so will post more photos when it gets back ..

This was what I thought would be a 1 hour job...

 

AFter some difficulties with getting the DW to clear the dial I finally got it donw (although I'll probably have to go back and redo it sometime in the future b/c the changeover isn't super crisp right now)

 

Anyways it looks splendid compared to that granulated looking silver one that it came with.

 

For all you guys here remember to remove the other DWO first (doh!)

 

Mine's all back together and although not perfect because of my installation the brushed finish is quite beautiful.

 

I bought a second one to put in the watchbox in case some day I have the urge for another build.

 

Thanks for putting this together Pete.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry my photos are *the fail* at capturing that brushed look.

Wow ! looks great, thanks for posting. A tip when installing is to take the old numbers and paint off of the original date wheel. This will give you a few microns more if clearance so date will move freely

I may take everything apart this weekend to do just that.

[ceejay]

Mine arrived safely today Pete, unfortunately it's the first part of my build to actually arrive, so not much to show yet.

 

Many thanks, pleasure doing business with you.

[blue.]

Is there any new development around this great initiative?
Can we already see any white vintage DWO?

[Max72]

I'll take 2

[sputim]

Would take one aswell

Here is my 1675 Back from PBDad for the DWO install. Looks great! Pete, thanks for the efforts for making this dwo!

its a little dark in some lighting but will have PBdad sand it down when I have some more mods done
