Ronin Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 BTW, who's date wheel did you use? Looks very good! The gens numbers progress in the opposite direction from the DG, so it would be interesting to know. Is it a cubic works? Not sure if he did what I did, but the latest greatest 3804's come with a DW that 1.) Aligns with a Gen dial window, and 2.) has a VERY good/close to modern "Service Replacement Rolex" font. Here is my ALL Gen 1675 except with DG3804 and stock DW. True, no flat 3's and white-- but the reality is, this style is what RSC would most likely use during a service. [edit] to add, the 3804 fit this GEN case with very little modification to a Yuki/Stilty ETA adapter ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I just bought two of these from ofrei. One to replace the sick one in my Omega SMP GMT and the other for another project. Neither have this date disc. . . I'm really bummed now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 It's the Cartel 1665 DW on a CousinsUK DG3804 slightly aged pattina by RA, so it doesn't look all white and shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 And Ronin stop waving that thing around, you are stealing thunder from my watch Haha, sorry, just attempting to point out the merits of the DG3804 we both used. 1.) Slow(er) beat 2.) Correct hand stack for 1675 3.) Decent out of the box DW (in some versions) 4.) Fits Cartel and GEN cases with little modification. 6.) Stock DW aligns with GEN dial. 5.) There really is no such thing as a GMT "Swiss" 2836 they are all Asian mash-ups, so save your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
