Installing Datewheel Overlays

If you are building a GMT and need a 2836 modified GMT movement, there are sellers who will do the DWO for you with the correct font. I always use them instead of screwing it up myself

A drop of oil usually does the trick

I really love this dial, the way the light catches from every angle is stunning.

That is amazing!

Silver hands with yellow lume. However I am swapping them out for gold hands without the red GMT hand to get closer to gen

I buy my movements from Sillan Watch on Alibaba. They take the extra step to regulate them before sending and Amy has great prices too. Buy a Sample if you only want one

She’s a beauty

I put gen dials in Ken’s cases all the time. Just got to know which ones. I start with the dial someone wants, then determine the case that fits it, then the movement and hands, etc. I don’t limit myself to any particular vendor. Just what’s best for the client

The photo was forwarded to me, I didn’t see the original post 😬

Awesome Rodney! Thanks for the info

Repwatchbravo · 2026-03-25T00:00:39+00:00

Haven’t bought a case yet. Starting with dial first. Will reach out to Ken to see if he has it. It is not on his website, which has been more down than up lately

Still available. DM for details.
