The new dial and hands are being made with our corrections.
I am trying to get a delivery date on them.
Shouldn't be too long I hope. This project is taking it's toll on my brain

Red lumi for the background of the "!" instead of just paint. The same red lumi for the hands and the "redline"... the hands and redline ended up orange on the prototype (and in fact the idiot woman, who has now been REPLACED at Laco, picked the WRONG orange anyway!)
It should look almost exactly like what RKD drew up for us when we get it back. I think we had RKD do the hands and "redline" a little more to the orange side as more of a match to the early cars and early S4's but it will have to be the same on the watch as the red of the "!". They say they can lumi the hands all the way through so there is a bit of a "tail" on the hands, again, just like the needles on the car.
Hope that helps!

Changes are:
1)Make the i into an ! (hopefully it doesn't turn into a Y or something
2)Red SuperLumi for the ! background
3)Red hands (same color as the above)
4)Black Second hand with only a white tip (The length of the small minute markers)
5)Red "redline" (same color as above)
Red Color is PMS 1797
ETA on the new dial and hands???????
Only the Germans know
Apparently it's a secret.
But ! think they want to make me happy as they know I am on my last nerve
In case any of you missed the drawing of the caseback, here it is again along with a pic of the watch on the dash

No the S/N for each watch (if that is what you were referring to) is on the back and the "9" "2" and "8" are the only numbers on the front so that with the outline it should be pretty obvious what the watch is all about...

I went back and forth on this. They didn't care either way. I wanted it, then I didn't.
The zipper pouch box is branded as is the warranty and instruction booklet.
Now that I think about this, it has been sooo long, i think I went with LACO on the rotor. The option was Laco on the rotor or nothing on the rotor.
Don't hold me to it, but I think I decided on LACO engraving on the rotor. I will check my notes, since my brain is now fried
