I'm at a brick wall. I've been trying to build the wife a nice Ladies size franken and it seems everything I try to come up with doesn't work! :wallbash: First I tried to make a Ladies Oyster Perpetual (no-date) and discovered the dial was too small for a Ladies DJ case and I haven't found a correct case yet. I had a gen Ladies DJ case so I snagged a gen dial, I have ETA 2761 movements, but I can't come up with a date wheel overlay and the ETA date wheel only fills about 2/3 of the Rolex date window. So, I figured I'd do a nice Tudor Princess Oysterdate but so far the number of gen dials I've found have been zilch!!!

Help me Obi-Wan...

I think a water-slide decal might be the way to go with this project :)

I really want to use the gen case and dial and make a really nice LDJ Franken and if I can find a 24mm LOP case that will make for a really nice no-date.

Ive also been trying this... I almost gave up and just bought a ladies rep but I cant bring myself to do it. I want to build something with gen parts but so far havent been able to find much information. I wanted to do an all stainless steel with gen dial and bracelet. The case can be rep.. I dont know... let me know what you guys come up with because I need help too

This DW overlay issues caused me to look pretty bad at anniversary time. I put the watch together and presented it but told the wife she couldn't wear it until I fixed the DW issue, several months later...

Chi - That would be great, and if it's black my wife would be in watch heaven! I don't ever recall seeing any of the Tudor ladies dials on fleabay. If you still need a shield I have several Jumbo dials I doubt I'll ever find cases for...
