love your work, if u want to sell yr 2nd prototype rep, please drop me a pm, I would love to make an offer.

I should have stated "sausage shaped" numerals just like the original. In either case it's a work of art!

Cheers,
Brad

 

[ridnwind]

I only meant "sausage" as to the shape of the numerals.

Enzo mate ..nice work...now my 202a going down the drain ..LOL..nothing compare to your talented product over there... :shock: :shock:

I wish I can take off the t swiss t ..LOL ...great...any tutorial for us amateur next MASTER ENZO ??

Whcn I look at the pre-V dial numerals, they look like "sausages" with their cut by hand fat look and the wonderful tritum patina! Thats what differentiates these dials from ALL the others. The PAM000 and PAM005 reincarnated this "sausage" shape in the numerals wiith the logo to capture some of the essence of the pre-V dial.

The dial made in the Richmond era (post 1997) are either "painted dials" or "sandwich dials."

You have captured the essense of the pre-V dial like a master.

Cheers,
Brad

Easy way to remove the T SWISS T is a SHARPIE permanent marker and, dot, dot-dot-dot, dot and it's gone ... no talent required.

before the dots dry rub them with your finger and they will be matte finished.

Even if you do if badly, it will barely show.

Cool thats good to hear..some information on that..LOL..what I mean the talent is ...on how to open up the whole watches movement..thats a bit scary ..LOL...

 

[moggio]

yeap...nice suggestion ..I should source it up for parts watches in ebay ....so that I can mess it while im wearing my 202a ..how cool is that ...a learning curve..that is much more interesting..

you go deeper with your watch collecting hobbies ...
