I posted this earlier in the tech section but think it’s germane to this section as well
I just picked up a couple of these from Ali Express, and thought it worth sharing.
First impressions : printing is good , slightly raised and fairly sharp with decent serifs.
Compared with Gen (on right)
Printing is slightly thinner than gen, and the curls of the open 6&9’s are tighter on the gen, otherwise I think it compares favorably for a fraction of the cost.
Function
Installs easily and functions well on VS3135 and VR3186.
Alignment
With gen submariner dial mounted on VS3135 alignment looks good!… not perfect, but very good for a rep wheel.
Date positions cycled by turning hands, not quick set.
Overall very pleased with this date disc and it’s thin enough that a talented modder could use it for an overlay on ETA builds instead of Riyi’s skinny font left-justified dwo.
