Not Quite Dead 9 Posted September 25, 2017 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 281 Posted September 25, 2017 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 9 Posted September 25, 2017 One I am planning is angled so sounds like a plan, Isosceles trapezoid should do the job then, ta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
