IW3777 Day Date dial
- Thread starter acozcan
- Start date
Hi guys,
I am sharing my watch picture. It is QC picture which I accepted.
As you see day dial is misaligned. I would like to learn how I am gonna fix it? or Is is possible to exchange it with the gen day dial?
It’s is marginally out. Can you not do the very minor adjustment required via the crown ?

I have not received the watch yet. Actually it is not shipped. Is it possible to fix it?
There is a little margin to straighten it up. I don’t know about changing the Dw for Gen though

You will never get the days and dates to line up 100%
even gen 7750’s don’t always perfectly align. Don’t worry about it

I wonder why it's so difficult to get day and date fonts match with 3777 and 3910 chronos. Both white and black backgrounds have either day or date made bolder font on the same watch. To me that's a huge tell and doesn't need any knowledge of the watch to call it.
You re right. Day are bold. Date is not. I guess on purpose...

Fonts match each other in gen, so I think it's just lazy manufacturing. Some existing day and date wheels slapped in to watch, if they look a bit like gen. Font mismatch seems to be the case with almost all ZF made 3777 or 3910. V6F made 3777 with good fonts, but I think they stopped making it (puretime can't get it) and now only QC rejects are available.

If everything goes fine with the watch itself, I am planning to franken it with an other day and date discs. But first I need to find an example. I have never seen an application of gen or other date or day disc to any 3777 rep.
Other plans are;
-changing ss bracelet with the Jacob or gen santoni strap.
-Adding deployant buckle to the leather strap.
-Giving watch to a warchsmith for initial service for checking and cleaning the movement.
-Changing stock crystal with 2xAR crystal
-If the movement is not reliable, planning to change it with ETA7750 which I have not seen also an application of swapping movement of any 3777.

If you want to swap the movement, you need other hands to.
I have a gen le petit prince and the black zf comes really close.
I have mine on a Jacob strap
How is the ZF movement performance up to now?
an other point, I am planning to order a Jacob strap. How is the strap quality and look wrt to gen when you compare them? I think you have both gen and Jacob straps.
100% sure gen day/datewheel is an easy swap, make sure you source the right one with the correct font. There are a few variations.
If you want to keep things as close to Gen then I wouldn't do 2x AR

I have an issue with mine. I guess due to glass refraction, the tip of both hands looks curved (it depends on the angle).
Do you have the same?
