Hi Guys,
after a fairly long wait (almost 6 weeks) I received 3 watches today. 2 for a friend and one for myself.
Unfortunately the watch IWC big pilot has a loose date wheel..
I have repaired a keyless works on an eta 2836 before, but I am somewhat scared to remove the black painted hands and damage them.
Any tips on that..And can there be more surprises?
Also the rotor ( counterbalance ) is huge..this puts a lot of pressure on the screw and it was loose when I opened the rear. I will order a new (normal size) rotor for this watch. The big design rotor doesn't make any sense and is just a time bomb waiting to break..
I do have a hand remover tool and a hand press to put the hands back on..
Any tips for this procedure?
