  12. Easy way of putting a date wheel overlay

    in General Discussion

    Greetings friends,
     
    following to one of my previous threads regarding to finding a movement for dial feet which were for a DG movement, I had to overcome just one more hurdle.  I needed a datewheel overlay.  That was the easy part, but having failed putting one on an eta, I considered in finding a way on not stuffing up again.
     
    While I was using blu tack to hang up a poster, it struck me to try out an experiment.  I got my 3c tweezer and started pulling some very fine strands of blu tack fibers.  I then  placed some on the original datewheel, enough to grip the DWO, followed by placing the dial over it to see how it lined up.  I then rotated the rapid date change until I saw some figures out of line.  If out of line, I removed the dial and slowly turned the datewheel to get them right.  Once achieved, I marked out with a very fine permanent marker on the edge of the DWO  to the edge of the original date wheel.  
     
    I then removed the DWO with the blu tack and put 4 tiny dots of superglue with an old oiler just enough to hold on.  This makes it easy for later when removing it again for when doing further repairs or servicing . I then matched the markers with the two overlapping date wheels and placed the dial back on again.  I repeated the rapid date Change to make sure it still lined up and presto it s on.   If you are not confident with removing the DWO once you have placed it on the blue tack, you can leave it on I and  just put tiny dabs of superglue on the edges of the two overlapping datewheels.  Hope this may be of use to someone!!!
     

    Excellent tip! Thanks

    Hey Indy, you're a good guy for picking up this ball. I would suggest using the destination zip code to figure out the actual post office it was last tracked at and use local directory to get the phone number of that office and speak to the postmaster there for starters. Don't waste your time with the national number, it is miserable and hellish.
