1665 Date disc help needed

[usmctowgnr]

I just bought an older MBW 1665 DRSD off of a fellow member. It is my first vintage Rollie. Upon further research, I am noticing that the date disc on the watch appears to look to modern. I am trying to remedy this problem. So I have a few questions that I would love to have some help with.

1.Do they make an aftermarket older style date disc for the 2836 movement?

IF NOT

2. Will a 1570 date disc fit onto a 2836 movement?

AND

2. Will a MBW dial work with a 1570 date disc?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

1.Do they make an aftermarket older style date disc for the 2836 movement?

Search RWG for 'watchmeister'. A couple of years ago, some senior & very knowledgeable members constructed a vinyl overlay that fits on top of the OEM ETA date disc. The fonts looked nearly exact, but some reported the printing to be a bit pixelated & others experienced short lifespans. Recently, other members have begun making overlays out of decal materials, which you can search out as well.

The other option is to contact an MBW seller like Eurotimez & see if you can purchase 1 of the older MBW datewheels that came with a metalized overlay that has very gen-like fonts.

2. Will a 1570 date disc fit onto a 2836 movement?

No.

2. Will a MBW dial work with a 1570 date disc?

Yes, if the MBW dial is attached to a 1570 movement. Otherwise, see above.

And congratulations on your new watch.
