Date Platform removal - 7750 movement?

[hackR]

i need to get under the date platform to reset the hour counter lock...i'm not completely sure, but i'm thinking i can remove the entire date platform without removing the datewheel and such, right?

thanks...R

I think no. IIRC you need to disassemble the date wheel etc. Best to confirm via eta.ch procedure as I don't have it handy.

P.S. that stem arrive yet?

that's correct but be careful with the hour counter. That lille part is very fragile.

thanks, guys...

hey JK -- yes - sorry, stem arrived...fits perfectly...i owe you one...regarding the eta.ch/swisslab site, i've have that open on my tablet for reference...they do a complete disassembly - but it looked like you could remove the date platform in tact...

@tx --> thanks...will do...are you referring to the hour counter wheel or hour counter lock?

the hour-counting wheel. That assembly is very fragile and the clutch breaks easily.

got to pay attention to the past...wake up zig...

And of course, it's much easier removing it than putting it back together - thanks to ingenious hour hammer/hour counter lock assembly ... you should prepare your self with lot of patience, especially if you are working on Chinese movement.

thanks, Gents...i appreciate the assist!...working on a Breitling Navi Fighter and the hour counter runs - so i need to reset the lock...

@R --> thanks...quickset cover and assembly?...still learning part names - but don't see these part names on the eta.ch/swisslab site...

@Z --> yeah, i know...no matter how many pix and tutorials, it's still all in the technique and with patience and practice...many a spring has flown from my bench!...but i'm learning with each adventure...and yes - it's a low beat a7750...

I suppose I should have clarified my response better but it looks like you got your answer anyway
