Possible to order good custom date wheel overlays?

[watchguy51]

I am starting a project (building a Seiko actually) and I need to change the datewheel font/colour, so I figure an overlay is the best way to go. Is there anyone who can do a good custom one for me? If so, what's the process? Is it really tough to take the measurements? Or would I just send someone the whole movement and let them sort it out?

Never done it myself but I think if you ask in the right forums for a PDF file of the overlay you want you should be able to get one.

 

Then just change the colour to what you want and print it on decent card stock, then cut out and stick on.

 

(hmm, ask for one as an image or a MS Word document as PDF files are great for sending to someone else but a bloody pain in the [censored] to edit or get the text / image out of.
