ARF Daytona - Rotor

[ollylucas]

Hi guys,

 

Please forgive my ignorance.

 

I have just purchased a ARF Rolex Daytona from Puretime.Io and have the issue with the noisy Rotor.

 

If I simply manage to remove the rotor, will the watch still work? I know I will have to manually wind it, if so, how long will a good wind last?

 

I’m just thinking of doing this temporarily for this weekend, then looking to seek a replacement rotor and back case.

 

Also - if anyone else has done this, do they have a list of the recommended tools I need to do it?

 

Thanks in advance.

replacing with another rotor eta or valjoux is one of the mods to the arf, because its too loud and not heavy enough to wind the movement. at that opportunity should remove the deco-plate to avoid that the deco-screw-heads destroy the movement

Okay thanks - I have found the one in the UK on eBay. 

 

I need help with which part is the screw if you can help?
