Hey all I’m buying a QF 36mm DD gain weight but I want to modify the date wheel and day disc

I have found the date wheel on raffles but am having quite of a bit of difficult finding a day wheel (is that even what it is called?). Anyone have any experience with this or recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Hey 👋, I'm in the same boat as you. Please update if you found anything and I'll do the same.

These should be available as the replica day date with arabic calander is available from China! So it's just how to get it.

Thanks

Still looking, I’m thinking of possibly buying a 36mm day date shitter with 2836 movement off DHgate just for parts
Seems like the only way

Yeah I got the watch, it’s amazing but I messed up and got a ice blue dial meant for platinum versions
So I’m trying to source a replacement dial as well

Do you mind sharing some pictures and link to where you got the watch, you seem like the only person who is looking to buy and get exactly what I'm looking for lol, I hope we get the watch we want at the end. Very nice to hear you bought the watch

Niceeee 👍, have you thought of gen dial swap? BTW I thought the added weight should be somewhere near 180g? How much did it cost?

This is 36mm so it would weigh less than what else you may have read

I have considered it
But Gen dials require Genlike movement
This movement weighs more and is more easily replaced and repaired

I see, have you thought of removing the dial feet and sticking the dial to the movement? This is what alot of people do when the dial doesn't sit on the movement. I think it will make the watch that extra special, with an Arabic day disc it would look amazing. Would love to see what you will do with it in the future, I want to get one but not sure what is the right price to pay.
