... are they fixing the date font too?
Nope, date font stays the same. No change there. :culpability:
I have been hiding out in Rollie land lately, and the modders there regularly use DWOs (date wheel overlays) on their date wheels to simulate older OEM font styles. These are thin aluminium overlays that can be glued onto the date wheel to provide the correct font without removing the date wheel. They are sometimes difficult to centre, but not as horrible as removing the date wheel from a sec@12 A7750 without the proper tools.
There are plenty of these DWOs in Rollie land for the 2836/2846: I was thinking, why not make a few of these for the sec@12 A7750? They would have to be very thin, and the font would have to be the AP font of course, but they should not cost that much, maybe $20 a piece max.
