Franken 1601 - Datewheel compatibility

[jackojackk]

Hi,

 

I'm building a franken 1601 (it's my first project) and I'd like to know if the datewheel position of a 3135 will match a 1601 dial? I don't know if the position of the date will be the same compared to the 1570 movement

 

I'm using a 2824-2 and the date moves clockwise so I'm not able to use the gen 1570 date wheel. 

 

Thanks for your answers!

The 1601 would have open 6's and 9's, so a 3135 DW would not be period correct. MyManMatt has a very nice datewheel overlay that would be better.

Thanks! I'll gladly buy from him!

Thanks Drummania but the fonts are too much off for me. On the parts I have, everything is gen except the movement and the hands. I'll probably try to print one myself if I don't find anything close.

 

 

An example of the font I'm looking for but with the numbers going anticlockwise. 

 

And this 3135 with open 6 that is available. It doesn't have the flat 3 but turns clockwise. Is the size ok for the date window?

 

 

I'd like to have thick numbers but I think what I'm looking for doesn't exist.

Another question :

Are the gear teeth in the same position and/or size?

 

(Look at the teeth at 28...centered to the number on the gen DW... a little off in the 2824...)

The first picture is from a 1570 movement (not mine). The second one is a 3135 date disc. 

It's obviously not the same teeth position but I'll only use it as a datewheel overlay.

raffles dials has flat 3 DWO, too

Of course but the thickness is way too different. The open 6 on the 2-digit number is off. Anybody else has a DWO that can match my expectation?

Or maybe if someone has a high definition scan of an original date disc. I can rework it and I'll of course share it with you.
