Hi Bill

Just wanted to say thanks for your input to my recent post on removing dial and hands on one of my DSSD's.

When I got down to changing the movements over and having watched ssteel's video, of course my date wheel had an overlay fitted. Therefore, instead of the relatively simple "drop in" by aligning the notches next to the spring at around 9 o'clock, you can't see them with the overlay because the diameter is smaller at the centre, nor can you see and re-align the spring. The overlay masks both.

Consequently, I had to remove the spring carrier, fit the date wheel and then replace the carrier. Quite simple, just a bit more fiddly.

Anyway, all worked perfectly and my date change anomaly is now fixed.

All the best.
