This is great, I really don't like getting the fake Seiko logos on dials from AE but also having nothing there looks a bit odd and it would be cool to design my own logo to truly make the watches unique. I have a lot of ideas for adding decals to all kinds of things so spending on a laser printer shouldn't be that big of a problem
I purchased a watch and I was given the option of a sterile dial. I didn’t care much for the name. But now I would like to put some information on the dial. This is an interesting method. 😮
Regarding Microset and Microsol: Microset (blue bottle) is meant for positioning and sliding the decal around on a surface (some use water). Once it's positioned, Microsol (red bottle) can be used to soften the decal so it conforms and sticks to the surface better. Some people like Walthers Solvaset for this, but it's more aggressive on decals.
Brilliant tutorial video. I wonder if a damp Q-Tip (cotton bud) rolled over the dial after aligning your print on the dial would provide a more consistent gentle method of ensuring all is stuck down. Rolled over rather dabbing or pressing
Xavier, great video! Just curious how the hour markers on the blue dial held up in the oven? Biggest question I have is if when you’re baking the decal to adhere to the surface do you have to worry about the hour markers melting?
Genius work! Really awesome video!! I can watch this video several times!! What software do you use for your design?? Corel, Flexisign, Adobe or anything else?
Great job! Coupla questions … the link to the decal paper doesn’t work, can you repost? What program did you produce the art in? What print output settings did you use? Dpi? It’s some of the sharpest output I’ve seen.
I am trying not to be offensive. But I always notice how someone with brilliant technical skills, doesn’t really have brilliant design / artistic skills. Look at the high end watches and take ‘inspiration’ from them if anything. Them watch faces might as well have Blackpool on them!!! (U.S peeps might not get the joke) : Blackpool is a tacky north west seaside town.

printer highest resolution 1200 dpi. I use corel draw software
Thanks!
do you have a template and what app did you use?
Where did you get the logo
I ordered the paper. I'm curious 👍🙌
You can you any good quality color laser printer right?
Can I send you my dial citizen 28.3mm for a total remake ? Thank you
How did you print in white?
I don't think that is possible on normal Cyan, Yellow, Blue, Black Laser printers. I guess some copyshop may offer white printing.
What the name of that paper?
Good morning, could I make a request? 😊
Rolex Milgauss? Roltex Chigauss. Swifty Blue.
