CD-1 dial next to CD-2 dial
So in a watch, 3mm is a mile, and here is some shots side by side of the Cd-1 dial at 33mm and the CD-2 dial at 30mm.
The appliques will be redone to suit the larger size, and I will go further and fatten them up a little like in the BB 50Fathoms. I saw one in the airport recently, and really liked the marker sizes. Nice watch in general of course.
Also I add here some of the rapid prototypes, with poor choice of background color, and the 3D printer is in its early days, so while it prints larger items very well, this type of PLA printer does struggle with watch sized items. (which is what i need it for)
Putting a video of it together now, takes a couple of days

Damn on paper 3mm ain't much. But wow what a difference! This is going to be stellar Todd. Really looking forward to seeing this progress.

Please do a white dial version in real life. That would be watch Viagra!

With blued hand options as well, it is first on the list actually. Hand sets will be an option, as with crystal back or solid, as serial number with be on the bottom of a lug.hoppyjr wrote:Please do a white dial version in real life. That would be watch Viagra!

I work in millimeters myself and from the years working in my field, I can differentiate 0.5mm from 24" away. Great work! I it!
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.

I keep coming back here looking at that white dial and thinking about it with blued hands. Just sounds right.

Re: CD-1 dial next to CD-2 dial
Oh Baby... That white is incredible.
And I still fantasize that the last renderings were of a Destro version instead of the camera angle
When can I send my money?

Yep - white with blued hands for me. Can't wait to see pics.
Remind me, what are the specs on this one? 44mm with 24mm lugs?

42mm with 33mm dial so it wears like a 44mm. 24mm lugs
14.5mm high, domed sapphire, Soprod A10.

Make sure it takes any of my custom Panerai straps and I am sold. That is the only thing that kept me from picking up a CD-2.t20569cald wrote:42mm with 33mm dial so it wears like a 44mm. 24mm lugs
