rckh Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 No; They just use the same crap date-day wheel....... Best Regards, Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhrenfreund25 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi, that's really bad news. Is there someone within the EU who can change the datewheel to the ETA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen1985 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 On the board I read something about the IWC 3717 from Joshua with the improved datefont. Can somebody verify that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik is only the AR-Coating improved on newer models...but the DW seems to be the same as we all have to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkspepper Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Someone remind me, why change the date wheel again? AFAIK, the rep date wheel is actually more representative to the gen, although fuzzier. Whereas the ETA date wheel, although clearer doesn't look like the gen (more obvious if you compare 'WED' between rep, gen and ETA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The numbers are far squarer on the ETA datefont, which are more accurate to the genuine, I haven't seen the wednesday font comparatively, but the the rest of the days look closer from what I have seen.
