Date Window on Dial

Recommended Posts

Not Quite Dead

This is probably a stupid question but I keep think I may be missing something. If I take a donor watch with a 3 o'clock day and date window and replace it with a dial with only a date on it and the cutout placed at 4 o'clock - then apart from being two days fast I assume I do not have to remove day wheel or reposition date wheel.  Going to practice first but ready to try turning a Seiko into a Blancpain and happy I can do the bezel and the hands but brain keeps melting over the 3 to 4 move. As the wheel is a circle and the distribution of dates is uniform the cut out position should not matter. Anyone care to remove my doubts.

Gibber, gibber.

Genius

If the cut-out is angled it will be fine if it's straight then maybe not look up a photo of a date wheel to understand what I'm jabbering on about

One I am planning is angled so sounds like a plan, Isosceles trapezoid should do the job then, ta.
