Re: Redial – Find 10 faults!
In Response To: Redial – Find 10 faults! ()

There's a lesson to be learned there for sure, Peter!

Thank-you for posting i'm filing it in my cluttered brain under lesson 452!

Suspect that's why buying the dial in good condition is so important, once it's gone its a real problem to source the parts and will only get worse as we get older...

IT's unfogivable imo that they cannot get the spelling for TACHYMETER correct. How much research would that have taken?

Cheers

: I found these faults, but there are proberly more:
: 1 - Letters for CAMARO not right
: 2 - Heuer logo to big
: 3 - No SWISS T
: 4 - No luminous dots
: 5 - No circular lines on small registers
: 6 - TACHYMETRE in stead of TACHYMETER
: 7 - Numbers on registers in wrong position
: 8 - Lines and numbers are generally to “fat”
: 9 - Lines on registers is wrong length

: I was lucky to find a NOS white Camaro dial, so the watch is OK. I
: part exchanged it for my beloved Autavia 3646 with Pär.
