There definitely is no greater satisfaction than fixing things yourself. I looked down at the "30" today and felt rightfully smug :)

 

I know exactly how you feel....

It's the 31st now... No wait, I'll just keep it at 31 to enjoy the date...

My custom-made overlay version #612A6. It's still not perfected. Yet. I know the flat 3 is a fantasy for the 16014. But it's a nice fantasy.

The print isn't as sharp as I'd like

But you have to get up close to notice

Well, we're at the other side of the date wheel and things still look good. I'm ready to try a true swap now once my target pieces arrive from WI.

I'm the same as Chats - got the same Explorer 2, and the same issue with the date wheel alignment :( don't trust myself to do it - would a watchmaker do it?

same. love this watch. So am I understanding correctly that if the date sits too low in the window the whole overlay does not need to be replaced? Just adjusted? Thanks guys this is awesome. I need to grow some balls and opo the back on my Ex2! Its just that they are rare right now so I dont want to F it up.
