I've been in contact with some sources in China to get this going. I will keep everyone updated, but I can promise this will come to fruition by the new year.
Best,
Andrew

Since sponge bob's datewheel is pretty much here, should I retire this project (because of redundancy) or continue with MKF V5 and the PF 40th ann. font?

It will depend on price. If it’s not going to be cheaper, I wouldn’t invest my money. Their product looks pretty spot on

Thats what my feeling is. I might just devote the time and money towards my KVF project.

The MKF V5 fonts, 20-29 are not tall enough to fill the date window like the gen does. The rest of the fonts, 1-19 and 30-31, are acceptable IMHO. Perhaps it is not necessary to change the DWO, just don't wear the watch on the dates 20-29.;) I do not know about the PF 40th Ann model, I thought it was the same as the regular PF 5711.

I will most likely have to put a sale up to fund some the project, which I'm fine with.

Raddave Can we change the title of this to MKF date wheel project (if possible)? Im not sure how to it. Thanks; I am abandoning the PF project because it seems it has come to fruition elsewhere

Schematics. I have redacted the measurements because this took a lot of work.

The card stock will be made out of a special plastic/paper like material and the ink will be raised as per gen, there will be very neat and clean perforations so no filing is necessary.
