athan Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi to all, I just came accross to these two photos from a gen silver 1570 date wheel (from a 1665) and I thought of sharing them with you... Look at the texture of the fonts. Check out the superb "brushed" silver finish. When I'm looking at it, I just can't help it - I want to have a bite! @#$*!!! Would we ever lay our hands on a rep date wheel overlay that good? Would this be ever possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 A number of us have them (a 157x with a brushed silver datewheel) in our watches Eurotimez was selling (non-brushed) silver datewheels for ETA movements awhile ago that had very good fonts. I believe he was removed from the RWG seller listings due to shipping issues, but he might be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I tried to buy a couple of the silver datewheels from ETZ several months ago, and they were out and weren't planning to get more. They told me that they had to have a minimum order of 50-75 to have them made. At that time, they had no plans to get more unless there was a big enough demand that they could make an order.

mjmj Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ask fxrandy. He got us some silver ones. He may be able to get more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athan Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I also have the ETZ silver overlay but the font looks too thin to my eyes. Nothing to do with the gen size. And off course the ETZ font is not embossed and there is no ray brushed finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 The date ink/paint looks sooo good. Like candy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
