I was excited the whole weekend because TC DWO V3 bulk order came in. I played with it and checked every little detail against the gen. I also put half dozen of the V3 DWO on TC 2824 movements.

Let us turn back time almost an year ago when we were struggling for a better, lighter, white base color:
$15 TC Rolex Font Date Wheel Overlay Version 2. Now we are looking at this - correct white base, each date is raise printed in high gloss.

Let's take a look at some of the dates. I am VERY excited the printer was able to get rid of the leaked edges found in the pilot samples. Now we are a step closer.

Early this month, I made an extended stay in Asia to discuss details of a possible deal with the maker who made this.

I said I would update TC gen spec bezel project in my last blog entry but haven't done that. I will try to find time to update that as well as possible new version of 93250 and 93253 project in the following weeks. Now I need to focus in making some TC Subs. Folks who made orders earlier, I apologize for the delay.

Great products you have Thomas.
Would this work on Subs that are not TC Submariners? I recently bought two Subs from Reg, and am unsatisfied with the way the date fonts look on them. I was thinking about purchasing either this one, or your $30 TC DWO Combo for one v2 and three v1's.

Is there a tutorial about how to install them? I read somewhere stating to just use double sided tape, but what caught my eye was what you wrote in your blog, "...Well, the thing about watchmaking is your hands steadiness. If you're new to this hobby, I can almost guarantee you will screw up the first DWO you're trying to attach on the movement date disc. I screwed up almost a dozen DWOs when I was trying to assemble my first TC Sub. I still do screw up a DWO or two if I do not warm up. So the deal is you get 3 x V1 DWO to practice before you get to work on the real deal."
If it's just tape, I was wondering how it could be screwed up, if one can just lift it up and readjust it. Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks in advance for your help.

- Edit:

I was about to comment on the improved DWO, but then this was 5 months old. :D:
