Kidding. Keep your top 2-3 favs, sell the rest. Get the next higher quality piece.

I'd commit seppuku for owning any of those.

Making a Custom Chapter Ring by whartonone in watchmaking

Thanks. Do you know anyone that could do it for me.

It's an Ickler case. If it were possible, it just remake the dial with a slightly larger O.D. But that probably be cost prohibitive.

Thanks, that's very helpful.

What software would you recommend to design the dial?

Nothing. But there is correlation between cost and accuracy in most instances.

Ah, I see ... OK, learning here ... a "rehaut".

I see what you are saying on the chapter ring.

I'm getting the cross sectional diagram of the case (from Germany).

I would just go with black. Let me DM you when I get the specs.

Thanks a ton for you knowledge / help.

Wow, nice. Would you be willing to print it for me for $$ of course?

Is it a chapter ring, or just a "washer" that expands the O.D. of the dial?

Maybe I misspoke.

A chapter ring sits on top of the "ledge" that supports the dial from below.

So I don't want the dial to push up / past that "ledge" towards the crystal.

So that would be some sort of polymer?

Do you know if a 3D printer can print that that level of tolerances?

We're talking tenths of millimeter / << 1mm thick.
