Any updates on sourcing a gen date wheel? In the market as well...

Any updates on sourcing a gen date wheel? In the market as well...

I bought mine on a trashed 7734 movement on the bay. Took a long time to find it. Just keep checking. When I found mine I was ready to buy a working movement to get it and then resell with the original DW that my movement came with. Or since you have to strip the hands and dial to change the dw anyway you could just move them to a working movement that has the right DW.

Beautiful piece there A! I bet you are glad to have hung in there and finished this one. The patina is gteat on the date disc. If you darken the home plates to match a bit it will be even better!

Thx buddy! Yes it still needs some mods to get that great look.

Damn that gen date wheel!!! Makes the watch IMO...

Thoughts on this one I found on the Bay?… http://www.ebay.com/itm/111887990013?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Bit too squarish, but I think I see some serif???

Ishmael check the date wheel pics I posted on page 1. The 1 and 11 onbl the gen have the pointy decending sharp serifs. All the other 1's on the wheel are like the 31 flat on top and bottom. If you find one of those grab it!

Yep I know the one in the link I posted isn't a gen, but it bears some resemblance (more than my current dw does); more to the point, will that particular dw work on my 7734? It's the only thing I want to change on mine (already fixed that wonky hand on the 3 sub dial)...

I bought one from the same seller on ebay and it worked fine. It was the date wheel I used until I found the gen one.

I see that you have the same subdial hands as I. The left is correct one and the right is yuki? I was actually looking for somebody who could do custom DWs but unfortunately I couldnt find anyone. I can let you know if I find a correct dw.

I sent mine back to Ko67 who originally built it, and he found some Omega hands that do the job (and more importantly, they match!). Yes mate please do keep me in mind for the dw
