a little help please

I was wondering if I could impose on you gents (or ladies) for something that would be extremely helpful to me.

I will be having a TT Datejust 2 engraved in the relatively near future. I don't want to go into too much detail here since it's a private thing but the engraving will be a relatively simple geometric design with a few letters and a date on it. The problem is the geometric design will cut down dramatically on the size of the font available for the date, and I'm just a little concerned about the lettering/date ending up too small.

What would really help me out is if someone could possibly be nice enough to take a photo of the back of a 116333, ideally as straight/direct of a shot as possible, band out of the way, without stickers, and at least one measurement so I can adjust the scale when printing the image to match the real deal. Then I could photo shop exactly what I have in mind and see for myself if there are any adjustments that need to be made. All of this would also provide a very clear instruction to the engraver of what I want.

I've obviously tried finding something on my own, but finding a direct on shot, is proving to be a huge challenge. Since I'll be using it to lay out a drawing of a diagram, then having the starting image at an angle makes it really difficult.

Thanks in advance.

Matt, I would take a look at the watch galleries/reviews or even in the classifieds. I saw a picture the other day of a DJ2 for sale that might fit your criteria from the seller Thanh Do (Takuya).
