Do date at 6 date wheels exist for the 2892 movement?

If so; Where can I get 1 or 5.

I see a few "croc" straps on the horizon....

He had such a great texture! He'd make a great strap for something! Right now I can't think of a watch tough enough to suit!

Ideas??? =)

Extra Big Bang for me today.

I've been thinking the same thoughts.

I'm going to try the local digital photo developer. I have a feeling that the numbers may not be crisp enough. I'm also concerned that the photo paper may be too thick. There is also a chance that the photo print may scratch.

The second option is printing onto a thin plastic with a device called a Print Gocco. (Do a YouTube search).

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve from your description...

My poor description...

Effectively I would like the crystal to be a one way mirror only to the UV spectrum.

I thought it may be useful for UV to be let in through the crystal to give the usual charge to the lume. Following that any wasted UV which did reflected off the face could then be reflected a second time off the crystal towards the face.

I was thinking it may be nice to have more UV hitting the dial. Maximise lume... I didn't think about fading.

Wow!!! Thank you both for taking the time to give me such in depth answers!

I am building a watch (obviously), but its not a rep. It's been in design stage for the last year while I've been tooling up.

At this stage of the design the crystal is flat 3mm thick. I was intending on AR on both sides, but from what has been said maybe just internal would be better.

Is there any coating i can put on the internal side of the crystal which will allow UV through from the environment but reflect any internal UV which has come through and bounced off the face?

What is the best crystal you have ever looked through?

What are the qualities you look for in crystal and why?

AR coatings? Which coatings? Does both sides matter?

Do you find crystal thickness makes a difference with clarity?

Close or far from the face?

Is a cyclops just annoying?

Indeed.

Is there any talented leather worker or strap maker who would like to make a wallet?

I'd say so.

As far as I understand, Silix doesn't make the watches, but rather resells.

How was the quality of the watch? any problems? I have contacted Silix yesterday and am still waiting on a reply. did he charge you extra since the watch was custom?

It wasn't a perfect rep, but it wasn't too bad. The crown doesn't screw down, and the green emeralds around the bezel were not quite as large as gen. The overall look was pretty good.

I had a Green&Gold Hublot Big Bang made up a few years ago by Silix Prime.

Wow! OK. So there has been some progress! =)

Can I just clarify, does y3135 = Yuki3135? Is Yuki3135 asian too? I'm just going off this:

Also, are there any automatic movements which fit ETA hands but where the date wheel is held in place with 90deg screws?

Thanks!

5 years on from this thread starting, how are we going for a rolex movement rep?

Is anything available yet?

10 days out from winter and bush fires have already started. It's only 31deg! =

I think I need a nice watch with a good clear face visible through thick smoke? Suggestions? A Graham Chronofighter may work.

What country is this???

It's always more likely for these types of things happen to us admins on a weekend.

Thanks for trying to save everything.!

Go to sleep! =)

Another problem I've found is the dial legs have been snapped off. =(

I had a look for dssd hands on eBay this morning. Didn't see any at all. There were sd hands, but they seems thinner.

Also, will rolex calibre hands fit on an eta 2836?
