Decal printed dial

[Bart Cordell]

@crazyboy Merci !
Ce n'était pas une mince affaire.

A date problem on the movement, and this roulette that I could not manage to do thin enough. Finally I decided to erase the numbers of the original overlay and apply a decal. A first for me.

What a great solution. I will use this idea on an IWC build I have on the go, where the date window is further from the centre than the eta 2836 movement DW.

What printer are you using?
Fantastic work as ever

I need to re-read your posts on decal dials, finish the artwork and try this process.

I made some progress, working on a new 6538 dial for me. I love the results with this varnish.

Very clean! And with much more detail than before, this is indeed progress. I don't know how you have the patience for this attention to detail, but it looks perfect imo.

Neither do I )


1675 is dry now. The next step will be to cut the date window as best as possible.

It must not have been the good day to make this lume. I had to go back three times to get a satisfactory result. A 4 hours work.
