Next : test with angle adjustments to compare with various reference pictures...it works
I need to test and find the best font for the case back

Thanks.
I did redo the dial at least 10 times before I had no blue smudges from wax. I also tried paint (watercolor) but same result. So yeah I’m happy with the result but not how long it took. I don’t think I’ve ever repainted and rewarded a black dial before.
