When setting your date on a an asian 2836-2 I suggest you do it this way. I have noticed a problem with the date corrector on the asian movement, since I have replaced several over the last couple of months. Ive noticed Asian movements have a very weak date corrector gear, that is why so many have problems with the date breaking and not changing. One simple practice should help keep your date wheel from breaking. Photo 1 shows the correct position for the date corrector when you are setting your date. Photo 2 shows the date corrector position right after the date has flipped over. If you try to roll the date forward in that position, the calandar wheel puts undue pressure on an already weak part of the date change assy. Simply roll your time forward closer to noon before you change the date, that will help to keep your date changing for a long time to come. Not a bad pratice for the swiss either. Just sharing some info with forum. You will notice less resitance when the time is close to noon, you can fell the tension when you try to set it close to midnight.

I was talking with a long time friend and trusted member on the forum and he was telling me that his wife loved her 40mm PAM. And to make it even sweeter he told me he would be happy to help if I wanted to do the project as well. With that in mind I managed to dig around in the parts box and find an old 40mm dial I had picked up years ago in a trade but had never had any use for it as I tend to the larger pieces. Once I found the dial my bud took care of the rest. He got me a great price on an MBW, dug up a datewheel and then as the piece de resistance even put it together for me. A big thanks to a great friend and forum member (who can reveal himself if so inclined).

Nice shot, Joey. This was my take on the Goldfinger scene shortly after I completed the project a few years ago I chose to fit the bracelet instead of the Bond-style strap to be sure people knew it was a new pic & not a screenshot from the movie
