ddesj74 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi, was wondering, I was shipped a GMT with the eta 2836 with a standard datewheel ( not the corredct font and was wondering if the date wheel from an asian automatic can be interchanged with the 2836? Thanks alot Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Usually yes, but it depends on the candidates that said datewheels and dials are coming from. Typically, the datewheel is a simple overlay; i.e. a thin metal disc that the date is printed onto that repositions the date to line up with a Rolex dial's date window. In most cases, the datewheels are the same, but there are exceptions to the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
