Question, do you take off the date wheel and than put on a dwo? I tried to do it on the movement over the date wheel and it is pretty hard to do. My first one, I actually got glue inside the movement. Needless to say, I tossed that movement and gave up on the one I posted. I will be keeping the Hulk.

This one is for sale, if someone should be interested. Need to free some funds for a gen... unfortunately

No, I don’t have a white dial anymore. Just a black dial leftover. Watch can be found under sales section for 1.250€

Late to the party but beautiful watch nonetheless. Thanks for the contribution, I'm actually following your guide to build my own. (with the exception of gen parts)
Cheers!

Hi , do you if I could mod a JF V3 ICHS?
I bought Gen DW Bezel and Crystal ... hope I didn’t made a mistake.

Not sure, just familiar with Noob and BP but assume that JF will also have similar dimensions to fit gen bezel and crystal. It’s good that you ordered both

This is an excellent information post for me and my BP polar! Got the a2836 and now I am hunting for a nice white dial
