Hi to all Watch Lovers and Enthusiasts
Today i Present you an AP DateWheel Thread...
So first of all let me say many many Thanks to Mikey2008 for his nice Products that he offer to all our AP Friends!
He do AMAZING Work at many many AP Improvement Parts! (DateWheels, DateWheel Cutouts, Hands and and and)
So if you guys want update your AP´s Mikey will be your MAN
Ok... So let´s come now to the Facts
This Comparision is Based on DateWheels that Mikey offer and the new DateWindow Cutout.
I don´t want to do the conclusion now! I will do that to the End
So you can think of all the Differents self first.
Ok so let´s Start with:
The first Impression was COOL
First Time we have the two different AP DateWheel Prints that are Availible.
So you guys know that i am an little nit picker
And when i hold the DateWheels first Time in my Hand, i had think ok the complete Surface of the DateWheel
doesn´t looks soooo nice.
But these is only the first Impression
If we think about that, that we see only an little cutout of the DateWheel self.
We´ll know that it´s not that Important.
But let us take an closer look to the DateWheel(s)
Here we see the DateWheel Installed at an 2892 Movement from an LWO283
So here we see an closer look to the DateWheel
We see the Surface of the DateWheel
And an DateWheel installed at an 2824 Movement for the AP Diver
And some closer look also here at the Surface of the Black DateWheel
Here we have an look, installed at the 2824 + Dial on.
The older DW Font
And the Newer DW Font
Here we have an Overview over all Dates at the AP Diver
In my Eyes the DateWheel looks great! It´s an good Alternative to the Standard Rep DateWheels
And here we see one of the Best Standart Rep DateWheel that you can find for the AP Diver
And an last look Mikey DW Installed at my own AP Diver i like more the older Font
So let us look how the DateWheels look at the AP ROO Franken Watches looks like
I would say it looks also very nice... Remember these is the DateWheel with the Standart Cutout Window that came with the LWO283 Movement.
And an Overview of all Dates
Ok so let us come to the New DateWheel Cutouts that Mikey have made... The Cutouts gives the LWO283 Movements an closer look to the GEN.
The first Cutout that i got now in my Hand doesn´t Fit same in the LWO as the GEN DateWindow Cutout.
Mikeys Cutout is a little thicker and smaller in Diameter, so you must Glue it to the LWO.
So this is no Big Deal, but maybe there will be an Update in the Future possible.
Here is the Cutout Window
So i am sorry i forget to make an Pic as the Cutout comes. The Cutout comes in Black, i dunno if the Black was Color of if it came from the Machining.
So it makes no different because the Cutout must be Repainted.
Here we see how i gave the Date Cutout an new look
First we Sand it, then we Repaint it.
And Finished and installed Extra for you Guys
So here we can see how nice the Cutout looks like, and that it gives the whole Watch an better look.
It looks all more Centered.
So here we have an Overview of the look of all Dates with the New Cutout.
So this AP ROO was for an good Friend and Customer. So we know that the Date Cutout looks wrong in Black so we want get it to the GEN AP look
To get it same look as the GEN is, we must Sandblast it...
So let do this...
And Installed in the correct Color
as we see it looks also nice in Silver color...
I must say it looks absolut nice!
And an Overview of all the Silver Modded Cutout
So i hope you guys had Fun with these little Review
I would say at the End again
THANKS - MIKEY2008 !!!

Hopefully i find some Time to show you Guys some more differents about Mikeys AP LWO283 Hands
