Hi guys,

Many of you know that I was working on a 1:1 datewheel project. It took a long time because I had some issues with a supplier in Asia. Then I went to a Swiss supplier, it also took a long time but we are finally there! The datewheels are finished. Please see the pics for those that are interested.

Next thing I will do is ask a watchmaker to install one datewheel, if it fits (it should and I'm 99% sure it will) then I will put them up for sale.

Thanks! Please notice that these are for frankens or AP's with an A2824 movement!

In the meantime I tried to fit the datewheel to a A2824, afaik the datewheels of an 2892A2 and a 2824 are the same. Since the LWO283 uses a 2892A2 this makes sense as far as the fitment goes.



The date window of the LWO has a width of 2,63mm and heigt of 2mm, the numbers need to fit that window. This is positive as well. I used my caliper to show the dimensions of the window. Then I made a window in autocad and printed in 1:1, I cut out the window (although not good) but it shows that it fits in the window as well.
