Whatever123 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi there, the datewheel in my GMT IIc has a litlle "play" in it - I don't know how to describe it better. It turns all right, but when I move the watch, the datewheel moves with it, about 1mm or so, but it's enough to make it look pretty misaligned. If I give ithe watch a push in the other direction, the date looks OK again until I give it another push in the opposite direction... So what's the problem and how can it be fixed? Thanks for your advice, Whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14060 or 16610? Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Without seeing the watch in person, it sounds like the datewheel is just plain loose. If it uses an overlay, the overlay may not be glued down properly. Either that, or the calendaring mechanism may be loose somewhere (loose screw perhaps).

FxrAndy Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 what movement is it? Could be an overlay or a weak or not seated retaining spring, when you say move the watch you mean the hands via the crown of when you shake the whole watch Got your PM, I will look for you if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offshore Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Maybe its the complete movement moving inside the case? Just either a missing spacer or non secure movement clamps? O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O/S Ok, that's probably the only thing I'm able to check myself without ruining the watch... I just checked it, the movement sits tight - but thanks for the idea - definitely worth a shot!
