TeeJay Posted November 26, 2013 Report Posted November 26, 2013 I have some waterside decals which can produce a no-date Snowflake... I can measure them up if you'd like?

TeeJay Posted November 27, 2013 Report Posted November 27, 2013 Hi Teejay thanks you you have any samples photos of this work Many thanks !!! I've just measured the decals, and they must about measure 29mm (more likely 28.5-/+) did you need 29mm viewable, or just 29mm for overall dial size? Here're some photos of how the look assembled... Dial prior to installation... Installed... On Wrist... 1
aeromatic Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Teejay that looks great you printed the whole dial markers and printing logos ? the ceramic case i am using is a parnis caseset the 29mm is the outer diam im not sure and will have to check the seen diameter of the dial as i said this will be a fastasy build Edited November 28, 2013 by aeromatic

It's five step, two transfer process: First prep the dial blank with matte white paint. Then apply backing decal (builds up saturation of the black, but leaves white areas for text and hour markers) Then apply top decal and align, which puts the lettering and markers in place, and allow to dry. Then apply lume of choice to markers, cut the centre hole with a scalpal and then spray with matte varnish to seal it all If the outer diameter of the dial is 29mm, even if this doesn't go quite to the outer edge, I'd think the rehaut would cover that once it's cased up 1

TeeJay Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 Wow! sounds very whats the word forensic (did i spell that correct )? you know what i mean Thanks, I just wanted to be as thorough as possible in showing how the dial is made up This is another of T's decal sets... Looking sharp, J One of these days, I might even finish my own Slowflake project 1
