Make your own overlay. I'm working on that myself. I need to create an overlay to fit a Seagull movement. I was going to put an actual Rolex DW image in a photo program and place it in a layer above a photo of the Seagull DW. Then shift it around, tweak it etc so all the numbers line up exactly. Hide the first layer so only the new correctly positioned DW shows. Resize it to the exact real size, save the image, take it to a print shop and have it printed on some good card stock, nice matte coating. Then cut to size and glue in place.

At least that's the plan. Lol. If you have other ideas let em rip.

Same Story here, i'm a graphic designer so this work is easy for me. I was looking to a vanilla DW but your idea is a lot DIY ahahah
Pay attention to the thickness because if You use a thick paper all the DW Will be more thick and closer to cyclops. If You use a thick paper resize the date at 97/98%. Good luck!
