Possible to order good custom date wheel overlays?

I am starting a project (building a Seiko actually) and I need to change the datewheel font/colour, so I figure an overlay is the best way to go. Is there anyone who can do a good custom one for me? If so, what's the process? Is it really tough to take the measurements? Or would I just send someone the whole movement and let them sort it out?

Kind of unlikely anyone would make a Seiko date wheel overlay. Not much point when you can buy a new date wheel. The only overlays I've run across is for Rolex since the ETA/21j date wheels are in the wrong position. The overlays are strictly to move the position of the numbers on the dial.
