So, here we go again, with me being nerdy and looking for trouble before it happens -sorry.
I've just read some blogs (elsewhere) about a non-complete date flip issue on several A2836 movements in rep Rolex's, but assume it's the same for any rep using the same movement.
Apparently, the date was not changing completely without some manual intervention, but not always for the entire 360 degree cycle. Maybe only a quarter or a third of it in some cases, with the rest changing normally. That seems a bit odd. Does anyone know what would cause that condition? Some describe just a slight date/window misalignment, which I assume is a completely different issue/problem of QC.
I have 3 such movements in 1- sub and 2- DSSD's, so am looking for info just in case it happens to me.
What are the most common (and fixable) causes of date misalignment so I'm prepered?
Also, I am currently regulating and waterproofing all, so am taking out winding stem and removing movements as part of the process. Is re-introduction of the stem in to the movement an issue which could cause this in certain circumstances? ie, too much pressure on insertion.
Again, sorry if this has been covered before, so just direct me to the relevant post on the subject, I just can't find it using the search function.
