  1. It's a Singer dial off eBay. I used GS Hypo Cement and a lot of trial and error. What I mean by aligning the numerals in the date window is; you need to check the opposite numeral on the overlay is also aligned to the window. You can do this by carefully rotating the dial around the date wheel. Good luck!
  2. Basically you need to remove the original ETA date wheel, if there's an overlay on there already remove it.. Lightly sand the ETA date wheel surface, don't sand the original numerals completely away though. They will act as a guide when applying the new overlay. Re-fit the ETA date wheel to movement. Very lightly glue the overlay on top of the original aligning it to opposite numerals as best you can. This the fun part, lightly place dial on top. Align opposite numerals to the date window of the dial, adjusting overlay position slightly as required before the glue drys. Once satisfied lightly press the overlay down one last time and you are done. Overlay aligned to original ETA date wheel Date wheel aligned to dial window

  10. What went wrong? I usually need to shave a little off the outer edge and the underside for a decent fit on my 5513s
