janeto72 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Posted June 10, 2012 Hi everyone, well as you know the date wheel for the 7032 Tudor Monte Carlo's is obselete and trying to source a gen is next to impossible but there are close alternatives..... I have pics of the correct date wheel for the 7032..but what I need is someone to come forward and make some date wheel overlays that have the correct font for the 7032 that we can use on the 7734 valjoux..... any suggestions?
red series 3 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 I think i read somewhere on the new TC date wheel options that the datewheel printer worked off a 200 moq maybe if there were 200 people to buy that would be an option
janeto72 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Posted June 24, 2012 I have been talking to some of my sources in the printing business to do a one off run of correct date wheel overlays for the 7032 Tudor Monte carlo's but we need a gen date wheel to go by....anyone have one they want to donate for scanning and return back unharmed? Or perhaps you could scan the wheel for me 1:1 and send pics my way? Wouldn't it be nice to have the right DWO for the Tudor"s?
redwatch Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 There's a gen on eBay right now Link? I only found a red one
Ephry73 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 $50 GBP here it is http://www.ebay.com/itm/280903304462?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649#ht_500wt_1180
redwatch Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Not bad but not nearly as nicely serifed as the gens I've seen. Check this thread: LHOOQ's has a nice date wheel as well.
red series 3 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 The 7734 movement i bought has the same date wheel as advertised above. But the 1's are nothing like the gen datewheels i have seen. I'm happy to send the datewheel to somebody to scan. Maybe the font could be touched up to look how we want
Ephry73 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 The serifs are nice and the ones are like Is. Hmm
janeto72 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 the correct date wheel has the serifs, we need someone that is a pro with photoshop who can add the serifs and make changes to make the date wheel look gen....
janeto72 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 i have a pic of a gen date wheel to help get the numbers done right.....

janeto72 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 ya i saw that! great catch now send me that date wheel so i can make some copies of it for DWO's!!!!!! 1
buffedupboy Posted May 19, 2013 Report Posted May 19, 2013 Hi, Did anyone manage to get these off the ground? I am willing to take up the challenge if no one has already but I need the artwork from someone if they already have it?
buffedupboy Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Actually a picture of the datewheel will do and I'll get the rest done.
robbie888 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Actually a picture of the datewheel will do and I'll get the rest done. anyone?

Can you see here four, three or one..All are little different Edited October 7, 2013 by quaresma7
modelizer Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) +1 Close but no cigar. The 2's have a different curve as well. Gen Valjoux 7734 yes, but not gen Tudor 7032 (it would have been sold in a flash if it was). Nice DW nonetheless - the more 'common' 7734 examples are usually more off in terms of 'Tudor accuracy'.

marsupilami Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 I will try to pad print this layout on gen. datewheels got it from a member here.

If you succeed and consider doing this for others I'd be very interested mate. Have a spare 7734 roulette DW with wrong font in my parts box just waiting for the right moment.. Have a close one installed in my 7032 right now but I do enjoy a nice cigar on special occasions!
