That spreadsheet makes you realize how few of these dials are actually out there.

Thank you.


I'm still looking at photos trying to figure out how this RP Closed dial is going to be finished. I should start a thread and see who comes up with the best look. :)
Do it!

That's an early incomplete list, I reckon. There was another one later on :?:

Thank you Emilio and binbin for posting the info in this thread!
I was just looking at my 2 Tr0y dials and was curious about how I got them.

They have their very own story.
Tr0y started out to create the perfect Rad and 2533 dials with the latest CNC Technology.
An amazing amount of the forum’s knowledge went into these dials and they were produced which much effort on the manufacturer side but also with a lot of technical and machine support by some forum members.
They are three piece dials with a plexi insert. Not easy to assemble due to very tight tolerances that were chosen to avoid gaps between top dial indices and the plexi. The metal parts were made from Aluminum and the top dial was blasted and anodized.

Here two of my builds with them:
