Given the terrible alignment coming from ZF... if this works out or could be an awesome upgrade to an almost perfect rep !

Very excited to see how this turns out! Going to see if the fit of the PF datewheel works for the ZF aquanaut - not keeping my fingers crossed but will update with the results!

It wont work. The ZF uses an oversized non standard Miyota datewheel not a datewheel overlay like the PF. A date wheel overlay like this one would rub/jam on the back of the dial. There isn’t any room to use a spacer either as the hands just about clear the dial numerals as it.

The following measurement base on Intime photos.
And I do not know aquanaut and nautilus size are the same or not.

PF, PF rg, ZF aquanaut

Guys if your a date wheel keep in mind that it might need some time to deliver because the first batch has to arrive yet.

once you buy from the site all the info goes to @spongebob

The date wheel is for the PF at this stage, once the JJF will arrive and Steve fits ill add that on the website.

Just bought a few! Thanks again Keylog74 and Spongebob and the whole community for this.

Spongebob, it would be wonderful if you could post a tutorial on how to install the mod for those of us who like to tinker?

i can talk him about this. he mentioned about creating a tool to help with alignment but was just some words. personally i have no clue. All i did in this project was talk BIONONE into making the file,

provide watches and measurements setup a domain and website, and push Steve to take the project!

hopefully one of my three pateks will come back soon and i can do some full pictorial threads. BTW this dw will also fir the BP aquanaut if someone has it.

Can some of the photoshop experts see if this will fit the new MKS Nautilus? I prefer the dial on that one over the PF.

Also, Keylog74 and BIONONE do you mind if I make a concise OP putting all of the info together?

Is it just the overlay or with the datewheel as well?
