Off topic.
Since ZF aquanut font size is right.(only 2x dates are left centered) and zf use miyota 9015 and pf nautilus use 9015 also.
Can ZF aquanaut DW use in PF nautilus?

ZF is good not right. To tell if it fits you need to measure date window and also distance from the center. if they are same as on the PF than yes, you can use it.

keylog .. Please check this
Its nautilus DW.
https://www.patek.com/en/collection/nautilus/5711-1A-010#&gid=1&pid=9

This is aquanaut DW.
https://www.patek.com/en/collection/aquanaut/5167A-001#&gid=1&pid=6

They are 1:1 in Gen.

Will measure provided photos from intime in photoshop tonight.

Keylog74 bro, when do you think your DW will be ready? How do I order one once it is ready?

Apologies I am really new here, I dont fully understand how people buy/ sell parts here yet. Anw kudos to you, I rly love Patek and I rly hope that your DW will be a huge success and life saver for ppl like me who is into details, but cant afford gen.

thanks!

soory im cofused. are you saying that ZF font is 1:1 to gen or that Nautilus and Aquanaut have the same DW?

 

[d3xophen]

What I meant is Gen Nautilus and Aquanaut using same font, same dw.
ZF DW is decent and It can use in pf nautilus if the DW window size are same.

But ZF is off centre and then what’s the point in this whole date wheel project if we did that? Keylog and others have done a fantastic job so far so let’s leave it to completion.....

What i can tell you in a short way - while we were examining the specs for all different 5711 and 5167 models we stated one thing that is already common sense in the rep world:

this is not LEGO where seemingly similar parts are interchangable. That said - good luck finding a seperate ZF DW and then fit it into the PF hehe

I am still waiting this project to be done. Before it is finished, I ordered RG first.

Nautilus and Aquanaut share the same movements 324 S C. On the GEN Pateks movement can be interchanged on this two. Now again IF ZF has a date windows same as the PF in proportion than yes you can interchange the overlay DW. Now id like you to explain me where did you read or how did you come to the conclusion that the ZF date wheel is 1:1 to gen. ZF has a good date wheel but is not 1:1

 

[d3xophen]

No, Just my 2 cents thought.
If this project complete, I am hoping that this DW can used in zf aquanaut too eventhough it is for PF nautilus. Because I ordered zf aquanaut too.
Or Vice Visa
Before this project done, someone who can't wait should try zf aquanaut DW on PF nautilus.

Sorry for my Bad english. If I make misunderstand to someone. I just help and I also need this DW (may b 3 for my PF nautilus SS and RG and aquanaut if can use)

I don't think it should be too difficult to get these printed on plastic stock from china with perforation and at the right size. Let me see what I could *possibly* do; if I am able to I will send the DW's to various people on the forum for free and let them figure out if they would work.

with which digital file? Which measurements do you have?

You could send 1-2 to me and I’ll see if they fit in the KMF Aquanaut

 

[customclout]

I've just ordered:
PF Aquanaut
PF Nautilus
ZF Aquanaut
As soon as they get here, I will disassemble and get the date wheel to get the measurements and all dimensions myself.

I have begun sourcing Chinese manufacturers of consumer plastics. I will put together adobe illustrator/photoshop files with proper dimensions using fonts I am able to get online from gens. Do not doubt this, as I will do it well. I will post pictures and updates as I have them.

Thanks for your interest. If you're one of the people who are listed as reputable modes on the forum and would like one please PM me and I will be happy to send you them on me.

Thanks.

your project looks to be very promising however ive been on the forum long enough to see plans like this just vanish. What id would suggest is you to open a new thread and share your news and progress there just to dont make more confusion. Good Luck!
