tgchrono2 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 that Beige color looked like Vintage. I liked it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just thought I'd throw in a little visualisation. Excuse the clunky graphics ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 excellent...the spacer ring has to be right on the edge of the bottom dw?...was looking for the distance of the gear edge and dw edge...which is a minimum of 0.33mm to fit the ring...but wondering how much space you have... i have a black and white dial arabic dial v1s that would greatly benefit...currently using 4.5 eta dw...

importr Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yep the ring is to be right on the edge. That distance you refer to is no more than 0.5mm. You gonna try it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackR Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 You gonna try it then? who me?!...i know my limits...talking this over with Bike Mike...he has machining shtuff... to make this easy and repeatable, i think you need to go the wire route...thinking if a dw has the teeth cut off and then machined smooth, you could then trim the diameter down to the size needed to wrap a wire around...that would create the right shape and size...once the wire is formed, you could then more simply tack it on to a dw with superglue...

hackR Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 i was thinking a caseback O-ring? probably too thick though. I was able to find a o-ring and plan to attempt this...a 0.4mm by 24.5mm size...more later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importr Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks to HackR I will bump this thread for info especially with The new Navitimer rep being released! Apologies for the missing pics, i will check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breitluc Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm maybe interested into modding the datewheel of my new navitimer 01. Need to source a genuine datewheel first, any tips where I can get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 A gen b01 date wheel might not be the same size as an a7750. As for getting hold of one, you'd probably have more luck winning the lottery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmeier Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Very interesting thread importr, thanks for sharing and bumping! I'm really amazed by your creative solution for the sunken date issue. Unfortunately this is way of my above my capabilities, but looking forward to see pics of many great modded Navis!
