5512 How can I modify a three click (date movement) to a two click movement?

[oberblender]

Hi,

I am having a very nice 5512 from a member on the way to me... if you pull out the crown, it has 3 clicks. winding, date and timesetting.

Since the 5512 has no date, how can I remove the second click?

Searched everywhere for a tutorial, but couldn't find one.

Thanks!

You can replace part of the keyless works to make it singe click if it is an eta or mod the existing setting yolk by removein a bit of metal

thank you!

so it's only the little flat more or less "L" shaped piece in the keyless, right?

sounds do-able.

do you have a pic of what I have to remove. Or do you know where to get the part, besides cousins, which charges 9GBP for shipping... always...

I don't have a pic unfortunately ne aware that you should have to polish the bit after you remove the metal

I will have a look for the part from my suppliers here and see what price I can get it for
