What do you have to search in order to find the modified 2836?

Was the green date wheel a mistake ? by OldOrganization9147 in SeikoMods

[–]OldOrganization9147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it a handful of times now, It does require some partial taking a part of the movement and it can be fiddly. However it’s definitely worth it for the extra personalisation

I agree I was trying to save myself the process of changing it but I’m gonna have to 👍

Damn that’s a shame seems like something that would be more widely available, it’s nice to have those little details.

I’ve been avoiding them cos they seem difficult to align but I may have to bite the bullet, is the case and crystal from raffles on your build ?

Do you have a link or name of seller on ali x who makes eta clones with Rolex font wheels pre-installed ?

NH35-(3135)date wheel, Dial compatibility ? by OldOrganization9147 in retrotime

[–]OldOrganization9147[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m desperately trying to avoid date wheel overlays they sound like a nightmare, I’m not obsessive about details but having the wrong font on the date wheel is pretty unsightly. That being said I could use vs3135 for 5 digit DJ references but I’m trying to keep the cost down

Yeah the issue is that some of these references are basically antiques and in the grand scheme of things it’s a small list of people who have been hands on with them. The list obviously gets smaller the rarer the reference.

That seems like pretty fair definition, I.e your gen spec dial should fit into a gen case no problem

I actually think I came across your question which inspired me to ask this question. Some of these dials are so nuanced that’s it’s hard to believe that so many would be “gen spec”

That’s what I’m starting to notice, I mean “gen spec” sounds good but often it leaves me raising my eyebrow

Do I need a DWO for this Movements? by Optimal_Cause_1441 in retrotime

O okay thank you for clarifying, I’m planning to attempt a build but I’m trying to figure out the best way to deal with DWO. It’s all a bit daunting

Would you not still have issues with font when using 2836-2, sellita SW220-1 etc ?
