·The date will be upside down no matter how much you turn it round.

·My dream job would be to design the next Submariner. I would work even less days than Jim Dollares.
I thought priest at the silver dial church was full time

·The date has to be upright on the left hand side. This can never happen with a right hand side wheel.

·The point started out with his easy it could be to make a left crowned Sub. I just said you could turn the watch around as is but you would need to mount the dial 180° different to the movement in order that the indices show correctly with 12 at the top. The only proviso being that the mounts would have to be compatible. Doing the above means the dial stays the same but with case and movement at 180° to it.
As long as the date stays where the date window originally was, then it’s the correct orientation.
Now if you were to have the date at the opposite side to original, then it would indeed be upside down, but you would have to create a new dial then anyway, so having a new date wheel printed in the same 180° flip would hardly be an issue then.

·Ah. I see. I thought you meant you could make the Sprite using the normal date wheel.

And, if you printed the dial upside down and didn't change the location of the date window, you would need to print the date wheel upside down as well (as @bpsmith stated) to match.

·I don't know about modern Rolexes, but I've watched a number of clean & repair videos focusing on old Rolexes, and the dial feet on all of them were asymmetric, so the dials can't be installed upside down. So you'd need to remount the feet or to print the dial upside down. Either way, it would require a bit of R&D to make it work.

·Indeed. Perhaps they should consider that for the numerals as well, since they managed to make an Air King with two 3s on the dial.
