BCE Datewheel project update

[szvwj]

As some of you may know, I've been trying to make a datewheel for my BCE (http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=82927&hl=). It's turned out to be a much harder project than I had anticipated (I have renewed respect for Lello).

Well... after months of dealing with the printer, a package arrived on my doorstep yesterday containing the latest datewheels. Based on past experience, I wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise they look pretty good!

First thing this morning I took my BCE apart and installed a new datewheel. The alignment was a bit off, so I tried a different one and it lined up perfectly! So I guess I just have to go through them and pick the good ones (that's going to be tough).

Anyway, here's a picture of the datewheel and a video showing the alignment. The printing isn't perfect, but once installed, I can only see the imperfections under magnification.

That looks great!! What would be the cost for one of these??

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out (although they could always be better).

I sent you a PM.
