Recommended Posts

Ok, I could let the printer making a test on your DW then...

There is no risk on it, as we could re print it again and again, in case it doesn't come right.

@Lello,

Ingie is already disassembled and I will send my DW out tomorrow. Please pm me, okay?

@chieftang: pm sent on Ingie crystal / AR coating

It's a sort of metal sheet or foil, printed with white colour and date numbers. The foil is cut on a circular form, use is to accomodate different date positions than the standard ETA position. Rolex FI uses smaller diameters (read, overlays are smaller), IWC use bigger ones...

Yep, you're right. My Rolex overlay only measures 23,14mm which is too small. Oh well.

Hi,

I have a question, hoping that some of you guys, could know the answer:

As you know, the printer is going to make the overlays for this Inge DW.

The brass foil they are going to use, are 0,20 mm thick, while the actual overlays are 0,15 mm thick.

Would you think that a 0,05 mm of more thickness could be a problem?

I don't know.... tolerance issues are always scary. Experts please..

Was there already a first run done ??

umm... Lello is waiting for feedback re: his question right above yours...
