tabularasa415 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 So, I bought a 2836-2 Tissot mov't powered rep 063 that was having some keyless works issues (problem now solved -- WOOT!). However, this thing has a pretty bad font on the datewheel. Does anyone have a datewheel I could buy or a datewheel overlay that would work for this project before I get too $$$-heavy. I want to get it relumed and make it a cool watch, but if I can't find a solution for this DW font, I don't think I want to sink the money in it for lume b/c it'll never be a super rep. By tabularasa415 at 2011-08-01 By tabularasa415 at 2011-08-01 One of the guys on another forum said to find a Taka V2 DW. Does anyone have one of these they want to part with, or know of a solution that would work well with this movement? All help is appreciated :-) --Jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabularasa415 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Oh, just saw the 2836-2 DW offerings there (with no pictures). Should I contact them to see if this is going to have the PAM font, or? And they're sold out of both that have 2836-2 listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just contact them, hopefully they will have what you're looking for, just be sure to ask for the bold PAM font disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 And let us know if they do still have them, as I've got the same 063 that could use updating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I will be sure to update this thread as soon as I hear back from them! In the meantime, if anyone has one of these laying around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drulee Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Is your date window cutout completely flat and square? It looks slightly beveled, or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Well, it's currently in Cali with my watchmodder, so I couldn't tell you :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Alright guys, I've sent off an e-mail to Takashi/2geeks and haven't heard anything back yet. If one of you fine persons has one of these DWs laying in their parts bin I would gladly take it off of your hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Still looking for one - think I have one just haven't located it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash515 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 dont know if this will help but locally where I am is a company called watchpartsdistributors.com that deals in swiss watch parts with really good prices. They may be able to help check there web site. They are in Vancouver British Columbia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgenk Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) The 2836 GMT doesn't exist in any real PAM but the 2892/3 and 2836 take the same wheel. However, it is very unlikely thay you'll get any datewheel with the bold PAM font for these movements without bringing a gen in for servicing with a legitimate need . Your best bet is taka or the second hand market... Edited August 5, 2011 by Jurgenk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
