DinoD Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I am viewing from a computer & your previous link did not work for me either. However, the new 1 you just posted IS working. Looks good so far.Do you see anything you would change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the final print on the dial plate matches the graphic exactly (matching the colors, creating the correct 90-degree step-down into the subdials (so the subdials are physically ~1mm below the surface of the dial face) & reducing the distance between the outer edge of the minute track & dial circumference), it looks good. The trick, as always, will be to get the tiny details of the printed fonts to match the CAD image fonts. That is where just about every aftermarket dial fails.

ceejay Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Maybe a tiny bit more width on the coloured countdown segments? Notice how the green marker lines up with the 1 on the 6 o'clock subdial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinoD Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 My main concern is green strip needs to start higher, above the 1hr mark on the subdial at 6. GEN Coronet. Not sure what Phong is going to use for black indexes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoD Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 @freedy333 can you draw me a straight line at 19.5 and 4.5 of the 3 o'clock subdial all the way across to the 6 o'clock subdial.

On the drawn dial.On the gen I would like you to continue the oust black line of the green marker across the entire dial. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161012/28375c0bb2c131aef232d52ac8e75167.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalkhttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161012/c0aff690d63a40b45bf3f7ee7fe2ea8f.jpgHere's a better photo.

Yes, that is the give-away for nearly every aftermarket Newman dial. MQ's dials are 1 of the few that almost get it right (still, not quite deep enough, but close enough to fool all but the most experienced Daytona collector). Although not as obvious, the minute track that runs around the circumference of these dials is also a slight step below the dial face. Not quite as deep as the subdials, but it is another way to quickly ID gens from aftermarket dials, especially, the Oyster Newman dials, which have deeper minute track steps than the non-Oysters.
