chrono_lover Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm hopefully expecting a Navitimer World in my collection. I know about the date wheel issue and was wondering if I could use the date wheel from my old rep Skyland to make the Navitimer more gen-like? Has anyone tried this, would it even work? The movements are both A7750? - Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Should be no problem for someone who is cable of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 yup...it should work fine...although - the dw on the World is pretty-well sunken...so there's definitely a shadow of sorts, even with a clear double AR crystal... so even with an eta or skyland dw, it still would be shadowed to the view... and also, to be honest, unless it really bothers YOU - the wearer - with the complicated World dial, the date is hardly noticeable... also - it is a GMT complication movement - and sometimes that can be be tricky to mess with...so consider whether or not it'll all go back together fine...some of our modders here, don't like and/or want to work on them...higher risk complication... unless you have a donor watch - finding a skyland dw is tough...but if you do have a donor, please let me know - i could use some other parts!...
