I don't think there are any being it's not a 3135 movement. Most people recommend sticking on overlays. it's just best to avoid noob 2836.

The watch looks good. The DW being off is a commen issue for a daydate coming from the factory

I found a reputable watch repair shop who can center the dw for me without changing any parts tho it may still not look perfect...$40. I'm gonna drop it off later this week and see how it goes. otherwise I'm loving the quality of the watch. accuracy wise it's only +10s/day and it's getting a lot of wrist time for me. If you have the resources to mod it for better datewheel I do recommend it. The all gold and silver dial is really growing on me and it doesn't look that fake though it is a bit too yellow compared to real gold .

Im dropping the watch off for service Friday. It will probably take another week for the work. so I'll probably get a picture next week when it's done.

I was debating about even posting this but this is the set that looked least terrible. The magnification on the cyclops is too high and it's poor in quality (slanted) making a perfect date almost impossible .so I had to go with this yellow datewheel for now until I find something more suitable .

Thanks but at this time this is because of poor workmanship by my watch repair shop. He also screwed up the ARF submariner I had. He quoted me $50 for date fix but ended up with $200 paid and he made it worst if anything :(
