Re: Camaro redial part 2
In Response To: Camaro redial part 2 ()

Boy, point made. This one is off, but that original one just makes me cringe. Sorry you found out the hard way, but thanks for sharing - lesson learned.

: Back in May 2009 I posted the message below under the heading
: "Redial – Find 10 faults!". It was about a awful
: redial done on a Camaro dial.

: I naturally returned the dial and after more than 6 month I got it
: back looking a lot better but still not right.

: Some of the faults were:
: 1 - Letters for CAMARO not right - Better but not the right
: script

: 2 - Heuer logo to big - Think it is about right
: 3 - No SWISS T - Still not
: 4 - No luminous dots - OK
: 5 - No circular lines on small registers - They are there now,
: but to coarse

: 6 - TACHYMETRE in stead of TACHYMETER - OK
: 7 - Numbers on registers in wrong position - A lot better
: 8 - Lines and numbers are generally to “fat” - Better but
: still to "fat"

: 9 - Lines on registers is wrong length - OK

: Conclusion - DON'T REDIAL

: If any of you can use it I will part with it for what I paid ($
: 300). If not I will just keep it for the story.

: Here is a not so good picture of the second redial:

ORIGINAL POST

: Here is the result of my first redial - and the only I will ever
: make!
: I had my Camaro dial send to the renowned company Richard Bethge

: This is the dial before:

: 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
