Martyd3 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I know how do it, but is there a way to do it without removing the overlay? Thanks. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 On Eta 2824/36 movements with 9mm date offset overlays...you can install the date wheel with the overlay in place but you must be sure that the date index spring is in place before tightening the screws (one at approx 2:30 and one approx 8:30) that hold the calendar (plates) down. The index spring will be out of sight and can easily get caught between the date wheel and mainplate. Also be sure the calendar wheel 'flipper arm' is out of the way of the teeth inside the date wheel. Other than that, it is the same as with original parts.

Marty Did you have any luck figuring this one out? I am struggling with a datewheel for a 2836 and it is really starting to frustrate me!

Tribal Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I don't think it can be done without removing the Overlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 It's quite tricky, but it can be done with some serious patience. Of course, I nearly lost mine today, but in the end I managed to figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
