Hi, I have a 329 and it runs great , but when watchsmith serviced it he scraped off a number. I checked with trusty and pure time and they cannot get the part. Any suggestions? Thx

On the same topic, I'm thinking of changing my DW font on my 21j watch, was wondering if it's possible to print a DW on some paper and stick it over?
Any one has any experience?

First of all, what movement do you need it for?
TDs will generally not help with movement parts. You have two options:
1. Part out a watch
2. Contact DSN (davidsenjpn at yahoo) he can source you a 7750, 2824, 2836, 2892, 2893

Why buy a whole watch or movement for just a datewheel when you can buy just a new datewheel? Site's like CousinsUK sell a wide range of datewheels for almost all available movements..... :lol:
Try white waterslide decal transfer paper.
Sounds interesting, how does that work buddy?
Happy 2015 btw!

Use a laser printer to print a X number of datewheels on a as high as possible DPI, then cut a few out, put one in water for a few seconds, take it out and slide it on the datewheel, make sure to align it perfectly and let it dry for a few hours.
I didn't think Cousins offered the correct Panerai BOLD font. That's why I suggest parting out a Noob movement with identical gen bold font.
So the point is you buy a used watch and sell the parts you don't need... The date wheel pays for itself.
And once again, DSN is option number 2. He sells nearly correct date wheels, though they are a bit too bold.
but, what do I know?
