mastergod Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi all, Finally embarking on a 6542 project, although it will have slight fantasy elements such as wrong crown (8mm) and wrong dial (1675). If/when I get called I'll simply have to admit I had to make it that way because Rolex failed to Haven't used Ingods dials for date watches before - do we wether the date-window works with w/2836-2? Thanks! mg Quick powerpoint sketch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 You will need a date wheel overlay for any eta based movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 the ingod 1675 dial is identical to the 6542 dial except the 1675 is flat w/ feet and the 6542 has the rolled over edge that is designed to snap into the 1030 movement. I believe a 2846 would be a better choice for a 6542, but if you're making a fantasy watch, who cares.As Marty said, a DW overlay is needed to get the ETA DW to line up with the date window.

mastergod Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks for the intel! DW like this then? http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/155127-swiss-eta-2836-roulette-datewheel/?hl=%2Broulette#entry1210417 cheers, mg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 That's the wrong font though MG and probably won't line up with the window even if you don't care about the font being wrong. Can't recall whom but some members have made their own decal overlays on an inkjet printer. I'm sure if you do a search you'll find a tutorial.
