Ordered two of these, looking forward to getting my first PP rep(s) and getting the mod done with one of these datewheels.

Anybody know any of our resident watch modders who will do this mod based in EU?

yodog finished installing the DWO on the KMF Aquanaut and the PF Nautilus. Big shoutout to Keylog74 and everyone else involved. This has been a dream come true - a 40mm navy Aquanaut with perfect DATE FONT. Once I get them in-hand, I'll compare them to the ZF Aquanaut date font. A great time to be into reps for Patek fans!!!

Here's the PF Aquanaut prior to the DWO installation:

Welcome welcome.. the hard part if over (waiting for this project) , now the easy part, ordering 2 new PFs, one steel and one RG. did I hear that if I swap the dial on the RG with JJF dial, this date wheel won't fit? I need to know so I do not order the JJF dial if it won't work with the DW.

It won't fit mate - however a JJF date wheel is in production so go ahead but just have to wait longer for the date wheel.

How much you pay for the dial?

i second that - JJF file was already made and provided.

JJF dials as spare parts would be a nice uncomplicated solution but i have the feeling we have to order the watches then dissect to wrap our hands around the white JJF dials...

I don't want to spend 3.500€ for a gen white dial (according to overpriced Chrono24 hehe)

They were going for less than half of that, maybe around $1500 earlier this year. I saw a few pop up, but never thought it was worth the money. I paid JordanBelfort17 $1600 for a gen blue dial a few years back but he sold it to someone else after I sent the payment. That's how it goes sometimes.

imagine what will happen if a rep movement appears that can take a gen AP Chrono Dial ;)

wishes and dreams aside - prices in spare parts seem to be a better investment than some other ordinary strategies nowadays hehe

Hope you got the money back mate - that aside, I think with the JJF dial being as good as it is and if we can get the date wheel perfect like the PF then you'll struggle to tell them a part without having parted with $3500 for the privilege.

Yes, I was refunded, but not happy.

Never forget :(
