Date wheel is jaming up when I put my dail on.

Any simple solution or spacer idea? I swapped a 2836 to a 2892 and the new date wheel is catching.

I can get it operating perfectly but when I case up it jams and the date wont advance.

Thanks

I will let someone more qualified than me weigh in but I don't think it is a particularly easy fix as the new movement is a base movement + module so it is going to gave different overall height.

I tried several, and used a different spacer ring between the dial and the movement. I just needed a tad more to clear.

A 2892 is not a replacement for a 2836. If the case is made for the 2836 then it is designed such that the distance from the bottom rim of the rehaut to the center of the winding stem tube matches that of the 2836, from the dial face to the center of the winding stem. The 2892 is a thinner movement and you probably cannot rectify the problem. When you try to case the movement it puts it in a bind altogether.

Another problem...I have had trouble with the thinner movements overall. It is difficult to get the date change to work well on a 2824. You have to have a very good and very thin DWO.
