Excellent prototype.

The "3" in "23" through the "9" in "29" look off to me in both of the top pics. Like the second digit is more bold than the first.

Also the "2" single digit looks skinny to me in a few of the shots too. Can you take a more close-up straight on pic?

I will check and ask for pictures tomorrow also pictures of sigle dates one by one installed on the watches i have tomorrow. about what you saying it might be the magnification of the macro who makes it look wird...

but as you can see even in high resolution this dw looks like nothing patek reps have seen

Absolutely. This is absolutely stunning as far as I'm concerned. I would be happy with this prototype as it currently has:

- Raised ink
- fully scretched
- correct font
- looks like the right amount of boldness

Just amazing.

Take my critique with a large grain of salt, as I was just giving impressions of where you could improve if what I was seeing was correct.

. the 1's are wrong font
. spacing 10-19 too far apart
. font thickness issues

Yeah, wow, the 1's are really wrong at the top serif there is no flat bottom. Agreed with the spacing too.

raised print looks excellent! good effort



gen to compare.

 

[BIONONE]

Keylog74 - did anybody worked on the vector file before printing other than me?

I am a bit confused as i have just checked my file and i have definitely an other „1“ and seen some other differences.

Other than that - it is a noce prototype as i already said and i appreciate the effort everyone put in this. Thanks again.
