I Never Really Noticed How Off The Date Align Was


Recommended Posts

Just caught my eye the other day, the date is waaaay to left on the date wheel, as shown in the pick. any suggestions on fixing this? or do i just have to spring for a new datewheel. its not cause of the mag, got a gen t127, and looking at the dial from an angel to see under the mag, its definalty the datewheel.

and thanks to tribal for the insert, hope you like how it looks buddy.

Hi,

to allign your datewheel overlay is an easy fix...

I have changed the overlay on my 1680 and my SD..

Her is the way to do it...

Resamble the movemt from the case

The hands must bes set to 12' o clock,cover the dial with paper to beware it for damgages

Remove the hands

Remove the Dial,its glued on the movement,you get it off with a small nife,pull the Knife on the ring where the dial is glued..

Take the knife to pull off the datewheeloverlay paitently

After the Ovelay is off, take some glue and put it on the datewheel and allign it.

you get best results when you allign the numbers to the middle of the stem

put the Dial on the movemnt for a test,when its okay,you can install the hands at 12'o clock

If it's a datewheel overlay alignment issue, then it would seem like the date opposite the 11 (probably 26 or 27) would be misaligned to the OTHER side of the window. Is this the case?
