jmb Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 So far I've drawn a blank on this one. Is there a place we can get date wheel overlays for Subs, GMT IIs, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Cool, and these are the correct diameter and font to use in Rolex reps? I supose the type of movement they will be going on really doesn't matter as long as the numbers line up with the window. This is exactly what I needed, thanks Brightight!

Slartibartfast Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 You could always make one! Have a look here, and have a go yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightight Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I tried making some by scanning in an existing one actual size, then blowing up and repairing the flaws before laser printing out on white paper which was then sprayed with clear acrylic lacquer to give it some rigidity. It was good enough to prove the process, and a blind man running for his life would have been unable to distinguish between the original and my efforts. However I could tell the difference and it just wasn't good enough. If I had and could use CAD software and had access to a decent laser printer, maybe, but I don't As to whether the Cubic Works ones are accurate enough, I don't know, I just followed up a suggestion somewhere on the forum. They have open 6 and 9. I thought it was worth blowing $19 each on a couple to try, just waiting for them to arrive. The type of movement should make no difference I believe.

jmb Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I ordered one and some spring-bars... Starti, I might try making one, maybe printing it on the glossy photo paper... If too shiny I have some matte spray that I used to use on glossy photos way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
