nice project,

 

i too am working on a silver DWO.

 

but flat top 3

got a gen flat top 3 date disc coming in to be scanned at 5000dpi and reversed

 

got some silver blanks, thinking a clear thermographic print to go over them so the numbers are raised like gen.

 

since youre making the round 3 we got all the styles covered! :good:

Thanks for that

As these are just overlays, they can be used on any movement

but the question was DWs as in Date wheels not DWO as in Date wheel overlays

 

Does 2836 dw fit 2846?

Yeah if it's a dwo then it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Just that 20£ is a bit steep IMO.. $ might be better.

Either way, good luck and I will be interested to see the final product!

If you think that is too expencive then make your own, how to do it is in my signature, but i tell you what if Denimhead makes these i will buy one because i know how hard it is to make one.

If you're building a nice 1680 or 1665, and these will solve the problem of the numbers being either right or left justified, it's worth the price. To me that is the biggest problem with the 1680 builds, it's very hard to get the DW to look right. You would need to use an ETA dial to make these work, as the gen dials and the aftermarket dials like Ming, phong,yuki are made for gen movements and the date window is more to the center of the dial. 2846, ETA dial like and MBW, and this DW would look great!
