Decal printed dial

[Bart Cordell]

How could I fix a high end Tonny or MQ dial. Sorry


Like you always do with your projects....... Use The Force!

The sand paper force
What have you done on your dial ? Pics ?

I rubbed off the decal at 11:00. New one is on the way from HR but it is a 20-30 day wait for it to get here from Hong Kong.

It was my first mod so I cant be upset. Happens to everyone. @tripdog said to post for sale for around $20 to help recoup cost of new one.

Ouch ! How did you damage the paint ?
It only remains to sand and use it for decal support.

Inspired by [MENTION=93698]Retina[/MENTION], I drew two tropical dials for 6200 and 6538

I don't know what it will take when printed.

I used too strong of a chemical to clean off. Once happened it was too late.

Will post for sale soon.

Do the dial still have feets ?

No, It was a HR dial and was for a 2836, i'm using a 2813 so i removed them.

looking forward to the print out Bart I've decided that the first dial for me will be a tropical 5513 dial followed by a explorer

 

[Bart Cordell]

A 5513 tropical ?
Here is mine

Just for fun because I don't want to do my 5513 again

Gold leaf received last week, and dial dots holes filled with welding.

Gold leaf applying is very difficult

With decal

After 3 varnish layers.

Another varnish layer applied this evening. I hope it's the last one. We will see...
Thanks for reading !

WOW You are really taking this to another level.!! Were you finding that the brass was not as gilt as you were hoping? its hard to tell from the pics but they looked great!

They look great with the gold leaf!....I can hardly wait to see the Tropical dials with the gilt ....these are gonna blow minds!!

Great work as always my friend....

Wow, a true gilt rep dial! very impressed

So the dial print was clear, correct? so the gold leaf show thru?

Brass is gilt enough. But this dial plate have holes for 3D markers. I filled with solder and cover the dial with gold leaf.
My tropical print are not as sharp as black ones. Need to experiment before I could apply these on dial. [MENTION=93698]Retina[/MENTION] work is much better

Thank you ! But not a genius. See [MENTION=93698]Retina[/MENTION] work. His dials will be far better

ya I am watching his progress too
I have to admit, I am a bit jealous, I will attempt this high level of expertise someday.
