woody Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 greetings ladies and gentlemen, I have bought from recent lello project, a Breitling DW for my BCE. with the recent special pricing of SFSO from Silix for his ETA models, I am really thinking about buying one at that price. At the same time, I thought that it would be nice if it had a proper datewheel. So I had emailed Lello last night, asking him if I do buy a SFSO, could I just buy another DW from him and install it on the 2824. Lello said that it would require to do a new project, as the DW he produced are for the 7750 models. and he said if there are enough interests, he would possibly look into it. also assuming that the font size on the 7750 is the same as 2824, then we can have a go possibly. so this I guess is a feeler to see how many people would be potentially interested in a DW for SFSO. Lello had told me that even if it is just 10 people, we can have it a go. But that having 20 interested people would drop the price down 5 euros more. so guys and gals, post in here, if you are interested. thanks. PS. I will also post this thread in watch repair and upgrade subforum. if it is inappropriate admin, please remove the post in either subforum if you are interested, please post in one subforum only. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagfan Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Does it need a datewheel replacement?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Does it need a datewheel replacement?? For a more accurate look the replacement is recommended, however there is nothing wrong with the date; all 31 days are there, and in order. COUNT ME IN FOR ONE!

lnoblesus Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Count me in. Just to double check the DW on the 2836-2 and the 2824-2 are the same right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I too may consider a new datewheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomass Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 If i could only change it myself... does the sfso need any other adjusting?.. lume maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dastrix Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 If i could only change it myself... does the sfso need any other adjusting?.. lume maybe? Count me in, the date font does look a bit funny! Its like the 2nd digit is 'fatter' So, would this be a genuine oem datewheel as fitted to gen SOSF?

Rolexman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) I don't want to spoil anything but the BCE's and SOSF's font are different. I know as I owned a gen SOSF and my neighbour owns a gen BCE. The BCE's font is way thicker! The rep's current font is actually very good.

woody Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi Rolexman, thanks for supplying the gen photo. well fellas, I think in this case the rep datewheel on the 2824 would suffice. Since image wise they are visually close, and it probably would be too much effort also to have someone maybe send their gen wheel to Lello to get the graphics going. So I think we may just close this project at this time. thanks for all those who have replied, and I apologized for not knowing in depth of how the graphic is rather different than in the chrono. Thanks again everyone! I don't want to spoil anything but the BCE's and SOSF's font are different. I know as I owned a gen SOSF and my neighbour owns a gen BCE. The BCE's font is way thicker! The rep's current font is actually very good. My gen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
