ravishingrick Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I would love an accurate 112g or PreV 2A dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAMman Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm definitely in. I think that the most realistic option is to have the T SWISS T 2A dial replicated with the correct fonts etc. If this is nicely printed and then hand lumed it would be a close copy of the A series dial, although the indicies were engraved on the genuine before being 'overfilled' to give the characteristic sausage effect. I have 7 of Jimmy Fu's engraved dials which could be used as blanks for this project - he had his engraved and printed without any name, but with a L SWISS L designation. However these could be totally cleaned to use as a base. I don't think that they are available anymore. Using these engraved dial blanks makes a 100% accurate copy of the 2A dial a possibility for 7 people, including me. The T SWISS T dial was used on the A series and early B series watches. B series rep casebacks are available to complete the ulimate T dial rep with a Jimmy Fu CG and Palp crown. I can provide good scans of genuine T dials if anyone can take this forward.

lello Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi All, as Sssurfer informed you, I met in person my printer on last week and had an interesting conversation with him. I didn't know that he is printing the dials (for reprint on old or damaged watches and for special limited editions) for the most important swiss brands as Vacheron C., IWC, Jaeger Le Coultr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Let me tell you what I would like to see 1. A PROPER 063 dial that allows the hand length to be perfect. 2. A quality 188 dial. Those of you that have them know the fonts are way way too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingrick Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi Lello, It would be terrific if pamman, the dial maker and yourself could make this happen. I would defiantly be down for a Pre 2A dial. Please put me on the list I am very interested! Here's a few examples of the gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 OK, I'm totally prepared to contribute all I can to make this happen. At the suggested cost I assume that there will be only a few genuinely interested players but this would tie in with the small number of engraved base dials that I have. Done properly these 02A / 02B 'T dials' really would be the 'mutts nuts'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I would certainly be in for at least one of each dial if you make more than one dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmilian Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 A really good Pre 2A dial. would be awsome. but for 120 EURO it better be good !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 A really good Pre 2A dial. would be awsome. but for 120 EURO it better be good !! We're all going to have our pet dials (063, 2B etc for me) but I would venture a guess that a 1:1 logo dial--correct A's, correct lume, crisp printing--would sell in the dozens within days--lot's of 005 reps w/ accurate solid backs floating around.

Valid point. It would be great to have a 1:1 000 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I would be in for a 111h sandwich dial with proper L SWISS MADE L, the right 'A's, offwhite font color and right size of font. But maybe that would be too perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am agnostic. You make a perfect dial and I will build the watch around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am agnostic. You make a perfect dial and I will build the watch around it. In total agreement - as long as it fits a Jfu case - 001/005 002/000 - if they turn out as good as they sound I'd be content with any (or alll!!! :-)) PS - T-Swiss-T with fat lume would be very nice.

maxmilian Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I am agnostic. You make a perfect dial and I will build the watch around it. So true but it would be nice to know which one so one can start sourcing parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
