I'm a sucker for serif fonts of the past. A open 6 and 9 on the datewheel makes something great even better in my opinion. Here is my 1988 L serial build with a genuine open 6/9 dw.

Show me what you got!

Sure thing. It's a JF based build. It has a gen vintage 703 crown, gen tritium dial, gen tritium hour and minute hands, jf seconds hand, gen tritium insert, neckyzips drilled lugholes and a tickleshoes serviced sh 3135. The datewheel is pretty rare. Open 6/9 for a 3135 movement. All waterproofed to 10 atm

I've got a pic of two Overlays I have.
Left if unkown and one on the right is RD overlay

although they are not gen dws it might help you guys compare them with gen.
