Announcing: Scupteo 3D printed tools for modding Rolex
- Thread starter Bonesey
- Start date
Update part 1:
DialFeetToolV3 - 6497 included
A second tool that incorporates the feet positions of the 6497/6498 movement feet as well. Due to the larger diameter and shorter nature of the feet for these movements I've had to add small raised sections to ensure you can keep them upright when letting the epoxy dry. It also has an extended alignment marker at 12 o'clock to extend beyond the larger dial diameter.
Update part 2:
I mentioned that I was going to work on a tool to help DWO alignment for modding Rolex (With the help of Jerkstore). Well this is the first part of that project. It's a simple movement holder for a 2836 movement that will allow the upper alignment template to slot into from above. Can be used on it's own of course.

Great update! I'm still trying to find schematics for the Hamilton and Molnija feet. Looking awesome.

Very reasonable if it was coming from France, but they also have a division in California. That's where it would be shipping from. And a small air mail envelope would be less than $1.

One thing that's critical to getting the alignment template right is knowing the exact position of the date window for a target dial.
Here is what I got for a 16XXX Datejust dial (all measurements are in mm and represent the exact opening from underneath):
(1) Height: 1.75
(2) Width: 2.9
(3) Cannon Pinion hole diameter: 1.86
(4) Widest edge of cannon pinion hole to widest edge of date window: 11.6mm
Can somebody confirm this for other 3035/3135 dials? Also can you confirm my implicit assumption that the date window is centered on the cannon pinion hole?

I saw it when I got to the final payment page although it didn't actually say where it shipped from but the shipping time implied it was definitely coming from a CONUS facility.
New design uploaded. Can be used for oiling watches or for lume work.

Bonesey - 1930s and 40s era spec sheets for the Hamilton 917 dial feet are on their way to you via PM. Hopefully you can incorporate them for us Hammy tinkerers.
