This is also from the 2nd-try at Wal-Mart Dial Printing, and Thank you!

to Bro. bjohnson for providing above-and-beyond tech (and moral) support! Thumbs up!

Sure, I used his Doxa-esque OpenOffice dial template..

..and combined it with a full SS case, 40.5mm X 46.5mm X 12.5mm thick to the top of the gently-domed crystal.

This case was designed for a quartz, so the 1.00mm dial-stem offset was close enough to make the PC21 nest properly.

I got to say I'm leaning towards Bro. honeycutt's opinion, below. I reckon this one has the Keeper position nailed down. Laughing

For the time being.. Rolling on the floor laughing my a.. off

I'm fixin' to do a blue-dial

-Look "More Watch For The Money", so that might well change. Crazy! Loco!

But I gotta admit, it wears grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8! WIS Honeymoon

Wow! You do GREAT work, man! Making this just another brick in the RLM-watch wall (n/t)	Nuvolari	116	June 19, 2010 08:16PM

Hehe .. now look at you go I'll be around tonight (about 10:00pm EST) if people want some hands on howto for the dial creation software in the chat room. They should download the files from your server and have openoffice.org installed.	bjohnson	112	June 19, 2010 05:51PM
Well then, take a gander at these...	Ricky Lee	118	June 19, 2010 08:51PM
Using an Iframe. If you see this, get Firefox. Really. Quote bjohnson I'll be around tonight (about 10:00pm EST) if people want some hands on howto for the dial creation software in the chat room. Great Idea! I don't really do chat and, anyway, I think I've got it down now. Still, it'd be nice if more folks were using this tool. Hint to the Forum At Large - If you're prepared to send me the requisite ODG files, I'll soon start doing custom dials to order, so it might be worth your while. Quote bjohnson They should download the files from your server and have openoffice.org installed. FYI I did replace dial_custom_creation.odg on my server with the updated example you sent me a couple of days back. -Ricky
Great work sir and very nice crown position !!! (n/t)	IF	124	June 19, 2010 03:42PM
Ah! You noticed. Why did I put the crown at 10? Well.. basically because I could. But seriously, the Tom Swift Dial Feet In A Tube System® makes it easy to put the crown wherever the case demands it (or you'd like it). So if ye've got it, flaunt it, right?	Ricky Lee	109	June 19, 2010 08:00PM
Looks sharp Ricky!!! Keep up the good work...I have a few that could use a dial like that... Give me a shout out if you are interested in the work!!!!	dano0	108	June 19, 2010 02:30PM
Re: Give me a shout out if you are interested in the work!!!! eMail me photos of the likelies. If they're interestin' enough , I might give 'em a go.	Ricky Lee	122	June 19, 2010 07:55PM
Fantastic! - Love the case --- You know if you.... Inverted the case, slapped in a clone RR-approved dial, and some of Uncle Ottos blue leaf hands...Man, I;d be all over that in a flash - a nice RR for those days when you don;t want to use the collectibles,, Sort of like this real quick and dirty PS job.. Still, though, I think that;s your best ever, the Doxa style works a treat!	flasharry	128	June 19, 2010 02:11PM
These ARE very nice cases! Alas, I have only 2 more.. ..and one of those is missing the caseback. But, yeah, I wish I had a dozen or two cases like these. Methinks you just placed an order.	Ricky Lee	123	June 19, 2010 06:32PM
I'm sure I can improve on that dial... "PMWF Railroad Approved? Back in a BIT.	flasharry	96	June 19, 2010 09:44PM
Probationary Train Crew Reto? hmm.... Now there's an idea.	Anonymous User	108	June 19, 2010 08:59PM
That's what I'm talkin' bout! Come on, it's so obviously a good idea, we have to do it.	Ricky Lee	94	June 22, 2010 07:17AM
Ooops... Fixed it..Needed a red seconds hand.. That should make it pop..	flasharry	104	June 19, 2010 02:26PM
Awesome job, RL! (n/t)	Dave Murphy	105	June 19, 2010 01:24PM
Thanks Dr. Murphy! High praise indeed coming from The Godfather Of Photo Dials his ownself.	Ricky Lee	113	June 19, 2010 06:17PM
Now print off a sheet of those, and start practicing your lume skills! (n/t)	Dave Murphy	114	June 19, 2010 08:31PM
Yes sir! {salutes crisply} Seriously, that is the next logical step. Unless I groom Miss Pam for the lumin' of the dials. 'tis traditionally Women's Work, you know.	Ricky Lee	126	June 19, 2010 09:31PM
see, I told ya so! (n/t)	greg honeycutt	106	June 19, 2010 12:56PM
You did! Ye're a man of impeccable taste, Bro. greg	Ricky Lee	114	June 19, 2010 06:15PM
Ricky, I think that is your best dial to date. GREAT WORK!!!! (n/t)	Mark C.	114	June 19, 2010 12:07PM
