freddy333 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think I prefer the 22nd, but here is my 23 on the OEM WM/MBW (I still cannot make my mind up whether I like the Ubi/WM DW's bolder sanserif font or the OEM WM/MBW's serifs, which I was able to center perfectly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) I think I prefer the 22nd, but here is my 23 on the OEM WM/MBW (I still cannot make my mind up whether I like the Ubi/WM DW's bolder sanserif font or the OEM WM/MBW's serifs, which I was able to center perfectly) If it helps to make up your mind, I believe it is actually impossible to perfectly center the WM date wheel for all dates throughout the month...but the print quality is oh, so nice.

freddy333 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Avitt -- I mostly agree with you. I actually fit one of the Watchmeister DWs to the 2846 that originally came in the watch, but, shortly after that, the movement died and I swapped it out for another 2846 and installed the OEM MBW (metal) DW on the replacement movement. It was not that noticeable through a crystal without a magnifying lens (cyclops), but the slight dot-matrixy appearance of the Watchmeister fonts along with my inability to center most of the dates (an off-center date is one of those all-too-typical rep 'features' that really bugs me) has left me ambivalent about swapping the datewheels again. I do like the way the Watchmeister looks though, so I will take another look at it when I take the watch apart to do the next set of mods, maybe this weekend if the rest of my drill press vice parts arrive in time.
