Can anyone here suggest a good datewheel for a Tudor Sub without having to purchase an entire movement?

Near impossible, I myself had to buy a junk movement ($30.usd) just fir the vintage datewheel with serfs

I didn't splatter the acrylic paint I put it on by hand using a pin. I rounded the pin head first as my test dial had small holes in the acrylic where I applied it. I also noticed the gen dial doesn't have spots/dots but tends to have uneven shapes so I tried to replicate this

Did you use clear acrylic or colored? If colored, how did you match the color of the original dial?

I used coloured acrylic (black). On my test dial i tried a couple of blends but the unmixed black was more or less an exact match

So think I'm finished with this build. I managed to drop and loose the atheya pip so have put in a modern pearl.

Its been an enjoyable build and I'm pleased with the end result with the dial effect and particularly given the state the case was in originally
