Where I need to be.
Just a small suggestion to help make your watch even better:

The gen counterpart of the rubberclad you have, uses the 2326/2840 movement. This movement uses a different datewheel font, which is different from the 3126/3840 movement datewheel font. The 2326 font resembles the ETA font a lot more than the 3126 font and many members here make the mistake of installing aftermarket datewheels with the 3126 font into their rubberclad frankens. It is a common mistake. The only exception is the 26178OK late H/I series RG Rubberclad, which uses the 3126/3840 movement.
Of course you can do nothing and still have a beautiful looking watch, but you may find the knowledge useful for future projects.
All the best!

Appreciate the suggestion. To be honest I find the current font visually appealing albeit not correct for this model. I don’t think I will change it anytime soon but I will try to source a more correct one just to have. Thanks for the insight and information:)
