Hi friends
This problem often happens to me. the dial window (29mm dial) is not aligned with the date wheel of the Chinese 2836 movement, the numbers of the wheel should be positioned more externally, but I cannot find a date wheel like this on the market. All the 2836 on the market almost all have the same data wheel, can you help me?

Hey man, we need more information on the build. You are probably trying to fit a rolex dial (different date position than eta) on a 2836 clone. It won't work without a date wheel overlay

Hi...
No...i'm working on a --No logo Watch--...i'm assembling a military Watch,

I bought everything on AliExpress, the dial is suitable for 2836-2824 and nh35, when i mount it on a 2836, the date is not centred.
we would need a wheel with position numbers more external..., such as nh35....very external....
and it happens to me three times already, and I go crazy and finally change my dial
I dont unterstand, some dial are ok and others no...

Hey, hm that's strange... Usually when it is stated to fit an 2836/2824 it means that dial feet and date location match. Guess it is not well described from the seller then. A picture would still help

The movement you’re showing is an HZ6460 the overlay is in the Rolex position. Remove the overlay and an Eta position wheel should be underneath it. The glue may have defaced it though. You may need a new ETA 2836 date wheel.

Raffles sell both dials, the one that fit the original calendar and the dial for DWO (Date Window Overlay) this one has the window aligned
To the left to fit the overlay.
@archimed The movement you are showing has the overlay and the dial you are showing is for normal date wheel, will not fit the DWO.

hello guys
I do not really understand why ETA movement makes troubles with DWO. Probably is since the ETA are smaller than the original ones ? (like 3135)?
just curious
