shultz Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 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
uziuzi Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) A stupid question (hopefully not too stupid) : I found a source for eta 2824 datewheels. Why cant we use them ??? Isnt this what we need to send lello (SEE PICTURE) ?? EDIT: Ok I got it, the Inge uses a datewheel overlay....Sorry for this, i should have read the posts more carefully. BUT how does it look like ? Can anyone post a pic of the part that needs to be send to lello ? Edited January 23, 2007 by uziuzi
horse Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Good idea. I was under the same impression that I needed to send out the part that uziuzi posted as photo. If it is not that, then what is the actual overlay?
HauteHippie Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Lello, are you looking to receive the overlay or the full assembly? If it's the overlay, I have one sitting here spare... My impression is that he only needs the overlay.
uziuzi Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is the overlay ? How does it look ??
Chronus Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Hopefully the initial test goes well, and it is a success, and is cheap enough
HauteHippie Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 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.
horse Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Lello, Any news on this one? anxiously waiting for you...
lello Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Posted February 20, 2007 PLEASE, SEE THE NEWS ON THE FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD! Lello, Any news on this one? anxiously waiting for you...
swemoose Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 How much would the cost be for an IWC Ingy datewheel? Moose
lello Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Posted February 21, 2007 I will know about the exact cost, later on today, or tomorrow, but I don't think the total cost will be more than 45 Euros. How much would the cost be for an IWC Ingy datewheel? Moose
yellomen Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Good news Lello !! I really appreciate all the effort you're putting into this project.
horse Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Same here. Thank you for the effort on this

lello Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 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?
uziuzi Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 Was there already a first run done ??

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...
