Nautilus date wheel project

[theREALgoat]

Date wheel update should come very soon from Spongebob and he will update the thread as I’m away until September! Hopefully we will have everything ready early September!

This are pictures with the old date wheel prototype but I’ll let you spot what new by yourself

Patiently waiting to pull the trigger

He will later provide you guys fitment results.

For this wondering left is old prototype right is the new one!

[Direnfan]

Amazing!!!

Keylog74 this is simply amazing the amount of effort and love you're putting into this. It looks much better. I can't wait to see how it looks.

Much better now as they used the original template we provided them.

Looking forward. Thanks again Keylog74 for your effort.

New proper pictures will fallow soon

Still too thin.

 

[gilrob]

Still too thin.

I agree.

 

[Garuda]

font too thin also agree.

the window spacing on the rep dials is different. white 5711 window = wider. aquanault window = taller. you have to make two different overlays adjusting the proportions visually

 

[tosoboso]

Guys: when was the last time you saw a gen 5711 or 5167 in person? I assure you those have dw tolerances too and are definitely not centred - going by the median rwi standard, 60-70% of the gen PP production would be rejected.

As to the thinness of the font: I prefer that to everything else available to date, so great effort everyone who's been involved in this.

raised print looks excellent! good effort



gen to compare.

Just digging this up again, as it's a good pic for comparisons with the gen.

This project is coming along very nicely - huge kudos to all involved! It's a big undertaking for sure. The newer version has much better numerical shape than the previous version.

If it were possible to just plump those fonts up and give them that thicker weighting, I think it'd be an absolute knockout.

Are you able to post a good high-res pic of the entire wheel?
