I use dial dots from Jules Borel for securing the dial to the movement. You can get them by searching for Dial Dots at Jules Borel
As for date wheels, I don;t have a clue.
Apparently the pace of people joining today is slow. The last user registered about 5 and 1/2 hours ago and has us stuck at 1948
