i always wanted to make my own watch..but with so many things to do in life..time is not on my side.
so lets design our own label..that must be fun.
i purchased a nice Anker lcd watch from the bay with a broken platic cover. The big problem with these watches is that the layout and the label are printed on the plastic glass. So it's not easy to replace.
So first i made a new glass for the watch (real glass, no plastic), see under right side on picture.
then i downloaded a freeware software called inkscape..it's a vector program. And i start designing my own label..now i'm not a designer but i gave it my best shot
now i had to keep in mind that i had to do mirror writing.
then i purchased some special transparent paper that sticks.....wooohhaaa incredible good englsh Kasper
After printing on the paper..i direkt noticed that the printside is rough..something they had put on the paper so the inkt would stick to it.
then i cut it out with sissors and put it on the glass
Et voila mon amis...and there it is my friends..the DWF watch
do i like it?...NO..the glue from the paper left traces all over the place...if i rub it to hard..the inkt goes away.
So i've gave it my best shot but i have to find better ways to do it
Have fun watching.
