got an idea for guys with WM9 V2 or Gens for datewheels

A lot of us guys don't have the luxury of owning gens or the new WM9 watches (they're still back ordered), but we do have other Rolexes with imperfect, misaligned, or too big date wheels.

For anyone with a 1:1 datewheel, is it possible to photocopy it onto thin white sticker paper and paste it directly on our current date wheels? This way we won't have to replace our current date wheels, and can be a cheap and very good mod. I guess the only issue would be the clearance of the sticker paper

just a thought---any input?

i've always wondered this myself, as it seems it would be the easiest and most basic part to rep.

there IS a member on this forum that has done this, but i forget who it was. Try the search for datewheel and rolex, as he does sell them, but so far i've only seen open 6 datewheels from him and i think there's limited production (due to lack of interest?)

A lot of members tried this in the past.

It is possible for watches with no magnification.

On magnification the structure of the Datenumbers

is a bit blurry and this is too visible.

Omega did it with flat top three wheels for the SD

and in my opinion the result is really great and sorry

To say much better than on Ubi wheels.

Maybe a plastic based foil and a good printer will do

the trick.

A thin metallfoil is not really necessary in my opinion

you beat me to it!

that's the thread i was thinking of but couldnt remember when i made reference to "the open 3s" it appears he's made a modern overlay now, and potentially soon to be noobmariner aligned overlay : ) how awesome is that!
