So far I think we have come to the conclusion that these are "MQ" dials but at 1/4 of the price. That will create some very interesting builds I'm prone to think... I'm waiting for an exactly similar, but from dung_chrono in a couple of days... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gilt effect and lacquer is also different. See my post for comparison pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakashi239 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I would jump on an albino 6542 dial so fast, it's ridiculous! Id be in for a few of these as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVNE Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 asketh and you shall receiveth.. Indices look too far from the chapter ring and seconds tick marks IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Yes I did ask and I did receive.. not quite sure I'm happy with the white paint... looks unevenly applied and off white... like he rushed painting over a black dial and didn't get the coat of paint applied evenly. Yes the indices look too separated from the markers as well. Hopefully he will be willing to fix these errors for the next run. I personally think that the Bakelite inserts have gotten much better.

dbane883 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Could be the white balance used to take the photo. The background is off white too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Bane I agree with you on that (unless the background is actually off white), but Look at the discoloration "Splotchy" paint work...most noticeable on the chapter ring of the dial.. the transition from white to dark 9:00 to 10:00 The biggest Problem I have is that because the indices are further separated from the Chapter Ring, this causes everything to be pushed closer to the center of the dial. Which means the base of the 24 hour hand might come pretty close to covering the text Oyster - Perpetual.

dbane883 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Those are minor relative to the other issues. Coronet is a bit truncated. Fonts are a tad thick, lume plot location/size is off slightly, "oyster perpetual " is too close to the hole and/or the hole is too large, etc. Again, maybe the lighting/white balance is affecting the font thicknesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Is the 6542 dial for gen movement? Ie, is back side flat or "bowl" shaped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hologramet Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 My 5512 (but from dung_chrono) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Last fall I bought a 6542 bakelite insert for my Pan Am build from dung_chrono that appears to be the same as the one posted here... It's almost finished, and when it is I was planning on selling it because I've since acquired dlf's Pan Am (picking it up today in person), however now I'm thinking of getting a black dial for this one after seeing these pics - are those dials supposed to be gilt?
