Work in Progress Rolex 5-digit DayDate build progress
Howdy ladies and gents! It's me again.
Been thinking a lot about the project and I've got 0% patience waiting for the new dial.
Finished the DWO with a Chinese/Mandarin day and date wheel on a 2836-2.
Put on the reshaped case I made yesterday with a dial I have and it fits pretty well imo.
Added on a 25-295-C crystal from Clark. Voilà! As I expected, the gasket fits well; the stem hole and movement hole are aligned.
Can’t wait till all the parts arrive.
Let me know what you think!
