Anyone on here more photoshop skilled than I am (not hard as trying to use my iPhone)

Still interested to pick up a WAN2110 as IMHO the best looking Aquaracer.

However I cannot stand a white 3 o clock date. I’m pretty certain I cannot find another dial & have someone make a non date version.

However in my thinking (& one that would consist of fitting a 2824-2 ETA COSC movement & black date wheel).

Now could anyone reverse the date window (white on black) and colour match the border from white to black.

Many thanks if so.

We’re all different, but this now looks a bit imbalanced to my eye.

Probably look best with the white date wheel and the white frame blacked out.

I actually don’t mind it & seems to be more closer to a no date version.

Hmm food for thought. Thanks Rob.

If you could get the right sized lumed index it might fit nicely over the cut out. Personally I wouldn’t go to the huge trouble.

Bump for this one & a different bunch of queries.

Anyone in recommended in the UK preferably South East, willing to repolish back to factory settings, fit a black date wheel and ideal an highest grade ETA movement (both the later sourced by me) - as i believe this would sort the dreaded Calibre5 issue (correct me if wrong).

Also if possible make the white date surround black

Thanks

McBeardy REALLY can't get this one out of his head, eh?

Nope not at all, guess I keep seeing a lot of neo vintage divers on my timeline, Omega Peter Blakes, Rolex Subs 14060 & if I'm honest I remember reading an Aquaracer article on Calibre11 back on the day and saw a picture of this, and i thought wow.

Prices are good, even taking into account some basic mods, & whilst some modern watches from TH & Omega are top of my wish list, each have their negative and 3x the price.

Not helped that I've been wearing my vintage Seiko Arnie as the BB58 @ Tudor. I'm part of me likes the appeal
