It's a good start. I guess you can check for alignment before correcting for the issues mentioned above.

I will explain a little bit (what i know about the process) how this process happens.
The file you provided was sent to a vendor who took it and transformed it into a '' Mold date stamp'' wich is a metal cylinder (or at least this is how i know it).
I did not have time to do cross checking for measurement but the problem you guys spot will be forwarded and ask to be improved.

ive forwarded the info. will update when i have an answer from the supplyer.
We have picture of the date wheel installed. here is a quick video showing date change and alignment . if there is anything specific you want to see just ask.

Yeah you can try Vimeo or dailymotion. It is locked at 240p. I would love a pic too. From what I can see it looks like it fits great

you guys are doing a great job.. as some said, the pic of the gen DW is a tad different from the prototypes, but I think with time you will get closer to it.. count me in for at least 2, and willing to help financially from now
As Keylog said - the vendor for the pad printing screen/mold had to modify the vector file... I hope everything works out well so the original vector file is not too far off.
i will check the previous pages to show you the vector file again - replicated from the gen but with equalized font (as the picture of the gen was distorted) and with a turned direction of the numerals all aligned with 50x magnification with the exact measurements Spongebob gave us.

Keylog74 I really like the look of the 5711. As for the aquanaut i assume there was a difference in measurements resulting in the small gap to the edges.
The size is correct for the nautilus! wondering what happened to the font itself as the vector file clearly shows a different "1" from what other kind members pointed out - thanks for this!

Here is the original vector file for showing purposes again to clarify the "1" issue

I did ask about it but no answer that. Usually the vendor takes his time to answer and because im really pleased anyway with the looks, im just giving him a day to answer about how and why this happen and how to fix it

If you remember when i sent you measurements the aqunaut dw was diffrent. Watches are from diffrent makers, this makes it hard to perfecly fit every watch but still its i think is ok. Also because those pic are higly closes up and magnified.
