Tudor Date Wheel Font .. Snowflake

[lanikai]

A member was very gracious and hepled me immensley with my Tudor Franken Poject .. I would call it more than help.. and I would like to publically thank him.. but after I recieve his permission.. but for now I need some direction

To the Tudor experts ... which would be the ultimate correct font for my Tudor Snowflake franken ? I have the genuine dial and hands .. movement .. crystal ..but would like to get the font spot on..

I am thinking the lower Ring font .. the larger font .. but should it be the thicker font.. ??

it will be going into and eta 2871 ...which has a DW .. is that the correct font.. ?

thank you in advance guy's !!

Please .. excuse the poor quality pics..

This 1, which I believe is the same as the DW in the upper right in the other picture (which looks closest to me), looks the best. The Tudor font is tall, rounded & narrow. It is also serifed, which none of the options you posted appear to be. But if I saw this 1 in your watch, I would probably assume it is gen.

I see you're putting those parts to good use, big R!

As for font... I myself just went with the very standard ETA font and white datewheel, which I have seen as a replacement on a few of the 9411's out there:

However, if you can find one, this is the one you really want:

Silver and brushed finish with bold serif'd fonts.

Hope this helps...
