First install these 2 parts as shown. Spring hooked behind the gold lever.S Now slide the date indicator driving wheel in and underneath the intermediate driving wheel (small silver wheel at top) Now take your tweezers and insert them into 'U' shaped indent in the gold coloured lever (7 o'clock position on the driving wheel) pull down on the lever and the driving wheel should fall into place, now release the tension on your tweezers. Lastly, slide the cover plate in from the right and it will click into the post. Job done!

Hi fella's, I've been hanging around here for a few years now. I've been collecting both gens and reps now for about 30 years or more. I started getting into reps in the late 1990's and my collection right now is about 75% replica. Over the years I've taught myself to do a lot of the work required on my watches, but it has never been easy to find competent watchmakers to take care of the more involved repairs. About 8 months ago my wife passed away and I found it desirable to find something to occupy my time, and get my mind off of that. As a result I took a job with a watchmaker with whom I had a 20 year relationship. He works on both my gens and my reps, so he has about 20 years or so of hands on experience working on the replicas we all love. From personal experience I know that it is sometimes difficult to find someone reliable to work on them. I've had many watchmakers refuse outright and others to do it only reluctantly. And that's if you have a watchmaker in your area at all. At any rate we've decide to offer our services to members of the various forums. We are located in Southern California, USA, but will accept work from all over the world. Our prices are competitive, but best of all we speak replica fluently. To be clear we do not consider ourselves "modders" but prefer to do basic servicing and repair. If you are interested please contact me via personal message, at which point I will answer any questions or concerns you might have and supply personal contact info. Here is a link to our website http://hemet-majorjewelers.com/ Best Regards, Mike

Nice job @ Timelord...that is what this forum is about. Sharing knowledge....thumps up m8

Wow!!! I could almost cry with joy!! I am very touched to acknowledge how you took so much time and effort to go out of your way to give such a detailed and easy to follow step by step instructions and to photograph them too!! It must have taken a lot of time as well! This forum is one of the best fraternity to be part of with such helpful members!!! I would vote for this to be In he sticky section of the forum as I am certain that there is probably nothing like this elsewhere in the forum or even on youtube. I am sure that many others would benefit from this write up . I was searching for hours on end for any eloquent information regarding the FULL installation of the date mechanism for this movement - & sadly there is not even information on this for the 2824 which is totally different again!!!! The best I could find which wasn't directly related to my problem was GenTLe's write up on date disks! Finally does it matter what direction the octopus looking hands on the top of the driving wheel are facing???? Again I am very grateful!!!!!

I like that - the reps are (possibly) more reliable than the gen. What better reason to buy the rep eh?

I have a contact for Tonney’s case supplier (pm me if you’re interested). I didn’t order anything, but the guy was responsive. A few folks here have dealt with him, so better wait for them to chime in with any recent experiences (if any).
