For a project I would like to have a custom datewheel. I would like to know if there is a company/person that is able to manufacture datewheels.

Lello used to be the man but don't know if he is still around
Some of the later batches he did started to have manufacturing inconsistencies but he made some great rep Breitling and Panerai date wheels back in the day before the rep factories improved

Yep I know, have thought about him as well. Taka also.

Do you have any e-mail or so to contact Lello?

No I never corresponded with him directly
Do you check all of the forums to see if his user name has been active at all on any of them?
I am not sure but think he was a member on rwg if not others
The forum search should allow you to look up member name and could try to pm him

Will do that, tried it overhere, but he might have been on RWG...

Edit:

I'm still hunting for a manufacturer.

Lello was active on RWG and posted this in 2009 (last activity of him on the boards was in 2009):

"Hi all,

first of all, I want to apologize with all of you who tried to get in touch with me during the last month.
I had some troubles with my work recently and I couldn't find the time to follow this up.
Right now I just answered to the messages I found in my mail box here on RWG, but some others surely found the mailbox full and couldn't even write.

However, I'm very sorry to be obligated to communicate, that all DWs production is stopped at the moment.
The reasons for this to happen, are few, part is because my printer never made them totally correctly and often obligated me to make several replacement, with loss of time and money.
Although I have to say that during the last months, issues were almost all resolved.
One of the main problems was that my printer didn't want to take his responsibilities and asked me to pay for all printed DWs, even the many being re-printed because defective.
This is causing to me a tremendous loss of money..., we are talking about thousands of Euros.
This situation doesn't allow me to prosegue any relationship with this company.
Hopefully I will find the way to solve this controversy with them in the future, if this will happen and I will have the chance to start again the production, I will post right away here on the forum.

There has been also another fact, which pushed me to quit and I want you all know about it.
The "sanctified"Ziggy, for some obscure reasons that only he knows, decided to sabotate all my efforts, saying he refused to install any of my DWs, indiscriminately,no matter if they were good.
I never understood why he behaved that way, but I don't care much about it.
But I want members to know who they also have to thank for this end of DW story.

Right now guys, I have lost also interest in replica watches, but I know this is just a temporary feeling.
I hope soon I will come back here, sharing with you what I can, on the board, as I was doing in the past, before I started the DW odissey

Surely sometimes I miss all this, so I'm optimistic.

I can also promise that I will try to fix my problems with the printer and if I will have any chance to start againg the DW production, I surely will and will post about it right away.

Now I want to let you know, that I still have some DWs left here, but just a few and only for few models, which I list here:

- Eta 2892 (for Pam)
- Eta 2893 (for Pam)
- Ingy 2824

They work well.
If any of you need one of those, just let me know and I will send them to you.

Just Pm me, as I don't have the meilbox full anymore now and will be checking it.

Thank you very much.
