Just oiled the rotor and added the datewheel layon!
Looks and sounds great! Ill post pics afterwards.
How to in short terms how to remove hands, dial and datewheele overlay:
Remote the 4 screws on the side of the watch.
Pull off the top bezel/crystall part.
Pull off all 3 hands.
Lift of dial with so plastic/wood tweezers not to scratch anything.
Pull off/pry off the crappy datewheele overlay /its kinda glues on.
Gule on the new datewheele overlay
Add Dial to check fit(and reapte untill perfect).
Add the hands
Add the bezel and crystal
Add the 4 screws on the sides, be happy.

Can't believe I haven't looked into this thread. Absolute quality work from you guys, hats off to Keylog74 for taking the initiative and to Spongebob for the execution. I still remember how awesome was the bezel insert you did for my V6S Submariner and I can see your work on this DW overlay is just as good. Thanks to BIONONE , QueTip and everyone involved!
I have just ordered a PF Nautilus, will order the overlay from the website as soon as I have it in the post.
I also ordered the new ZF Calatrava, I assume that the DW won't work as we are talking different dials, right?

Thanks for your kind words.
The DWO was specifically designed for the PF 5711 and BP Aquanaut 5167 (in addition it also fits the KMF 5167).
So it doesn't fit for the MKF 5711 (V5) nor other currently available 5711's as this wasn't the purpose.
BUT there will be a JJF DWO in the near future.

Regarding the Calatrava - i don't see the need for a DW upgrade there as the stock DW looks decent and some members got a perfectly aligned DW so i assume the misaligned ones were only QC issues.
I didn't hear from anyone who tried to put our DWO into the ZF 5167 nor the Clatrava and digital measurements are not always the most accurate as it depends on 0.0xx mm when it comes to DW's.
hope that helps in all its depth and summarization

All the contrary mate, really thank you & the team for the superb effort. Been on the other side at WUS for a while and these kind of projects and companionship are unthinkable there. This is why RWI is what it is, I absolutely love it!
I'm ordering one of these DW now and will try to find out about some rep-friendly watchsmith in Barcelona or in Spain, might even try myself but I'll need some time (new baby + new job = not much spare time).
I' keep the Calatrava as it is, then. Will take some good photos as I have seen the ones majwilliams0308 took of the stainless steel version and look great, but I think he decided he would not order the rose gold so we are missing some decent real life photos of the RG in natural light.
Great job guys!
EDIT: Just finished reading all the 54 pages and ordered one DW. I can say this is definitely the RWI project of 2018, took months and amazing effort from several members across continents. Really impressive!
