Thanks… I already had one but looked too thin…
Any other Idea? What are the other using in their builds?
Is the bp or jjf dwo better?

Yes, I don't think it will.

I've also been asking myself this question for a long time. Polexpete used to make silver-brushed DWOs that looked pretty good, but he's not anymore apparently. A korean manufacturer used to as well, but he went out of business. I really liked his silver DWOs and the alignment was good for viet dials.

Riyi DWOs seem really thin, and the print quality looks fair at best. Note I haven't handled one in person.

Both tripdog and yodog have made some pretty great 1680 builds with DWOs I can't recognize, but they look well-aligned and the font looks good: if I may, does tripdog have details concerning his 1680 DWOs with us? Thanks in advance.

15** caliber DW's are going to turn in the wrong direction if mounted on an ETA as a DWO.

Riyi sells several variants of DWO for Rolex, none are perfect, some are better than others depending on what you want.

PloexPete silver DWO's need to be used with a low magnification cyclops as the numbers are a little too large and a little too fat.
