Nice! But I think you need a longer hour hand as well

I got my QC pics on my albino today. It looks like its standard that the date wheel is a little too left-aligned based on everyone elses pictures. I accepted it anyway since its supposed to be vintage.

Yeah I know, lets say it's an hypothetical albino SCOC 6542! No I'm just kidding...
I only have this dial for now, maybe I'll upgrade to a OCC one day.
But in the end, if Ruby made this dial, or sourced it, it means an albino 1675 maybe have existed in gen world, just saying... So an 6542 SCOC might have been transitionnal?! haha

That bottom pic is from Rubyswatch website, they offer it for sale like that. Some of theirs are $200, some $250. This one probably $250. IDK if it's currently being listed. If not you could ask them about sourcing one like it.
Helenarou claims to be able to print any dial, any colors. I got a price quote from them for one time setup fee of $100 plus $45 per dial or $25 if I supply the dial. If they supply the dial there are only certain sizes they can get - 28mm was one which was good for me so IDK about others. They use pad printing and can print in gold but it would not be negative relief. I have not followed through with the order yet. I do not know about their quality, have not seen any finished product.

I imagine it can be fixed with some hands-on adjusting. I plan to deal with mine when it comes in in probably tomorrow.

Unless the opposite side of the DWO is right justified, horizontal adjustment is not possible. IDK why they won't move the numbers outward on these DWOs a little. It's a one time fix to the print file. Noob is the worst with this flaw.
As always, you are correct my bro.
Mine seems to be also rather set a few mm down vertically.
It was just delivered but I’m not home until tomorrow ;(

I don't do any mods and only take reps for OOTB. Since its vintage I dont mind mine being left justified.
They made the dial for my BB bluesy
their work is accurate( as long as you’re very specific) and of decent quality - though certainly no match to the pieces coming out of Vietnam.
There was a modder over on RWF years ago who managed to get HR to produce a run of actual reverse printed ‘negative relief’ gilt dials for Tempus Machina builds - but as I recall, it was quite an arduous process to get MK to understand WTF he wanted.

That is quite nice bro, the detail is excellent in the printing and the rose. I think I'm going to proceed with my plan. I was only dragging my feet because I hadn't seen any real results.
That’s not bad at all!.. wonder if we could get a batch done for these watches? Basic 6542 dials.

did anyone get theirs? I got my Li 6542 today, looks great but the bezel turns almost freely and i can pull it off with my hands, is that normal?
