I have a modded DRSD 1665 which was my daily beater and I love it. It has had all the usual mods including the flat top 3 datewheel overlay from Ubi. Although it changes date ok it is a bit reluctant to click over on a few days and I am told this is because of the space occupied by the overlay causing the datewheel to rub on the back of the dial. This all makes sense to me. Anyway the watch has now stopped running - I have no idea why and I would like to get it seen to. Now, to get to the point - I seem to remember a while back somebody saying that there was a rep flat top 3 datewheel that fitted an eta 2846 available. Am I going mad? Is my memory failing me with these advancing years? If there is such a thing and mores the point if anyone has one they could part with I would be most interested as I would like to get my beater back on my wrist with a non-stick datewheel. Thanks for any help.

I would say it is more than likely in need of a service and ensuring that the DW is fitted uniformly flat to stop it rubbing on certain days

Ditto above. I am not really current on the state of the art in flat-top 3 datewheel overlays, but a watchmaker can probably shave a bit of material off the underside of the datewheel to provide more clearance while the watch is being overhauled.
