fatarms 7,779 Posted January 17, 2018 Just a general question as to whether you guys had seen something like this before. I think the datewheel printing is fucked? Or is this a problem with the date wheel mechanism? Basically, the Datewheel is perfectly centered around dates 30 -2, as it goes from 2-16 or 17, it gets really low in the window. Then as it goes from 17 back to 30, the centering slowly gets better every day. This a datewheel printing problem? Notice how the date gets lower and lower as it approaches 17, and then slowly moves back towards center as it gets further away from 17. All pics taken after letting the date turn over naturally at midnight by adjusting the time, not by adjusting the date via crown: See what I mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted January 17, 2018 Just the alignment of the overlay is slightly skewed... Fixable but really needs someone who has done it a few dozen times to get it perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted January 17, 2018 A lot of older gens are slightly misaligned so a perfect DW is maybe more of a tell than a slightly skewed one, but that doesn't really help rep collectors OCD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltec 0 Posted January 17, 2018 Great question! When you google Date Wheel Overlay aka DWO you'll see that 1 is on exact opposite side of 17 Afterwards it's easy to draw a conclusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
