The issue is the sponge on datewheel is no longer available to buy. If you have a suggestion besides the spongebob DE please post it.

Oh sorry.. I just received the watch few days ago and I were not informed about this!

LMFAO. Those pics of the datewheel is like 10000000x zoom. Your crazy or have lost the plot.

A Gen DW will be far far far from perfect at those magnifications as well. When you zoom enough EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING will have flaws.

Sir, I think you’re missing the point. A poorly printed DW does not have a sharp appearance when viewed at wrist length. The whole impetus behind the major community effort to produce the Keylog DW among everything else is solely because many DWs produced with such a low quality are unacceptable AND ARE NOTICEABLE. A gen DW or spongebob DW will have IMPERFECTIONS, but are not low quality and poorly printed. There is a difference and you missed the point of this and perhaps all other threads and conversations related to DW.

Hello guys,

It won't fit as the 3KF uses a clone movement. The PF houses a Miyota 9015 which spins in the opposite direction and uses an overlay to compensate the small diameter of the stock date wheel.
