lazarini Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 hi all looks like the watchmaker that scrached the dial on the day date today managed also to make the date snap aheat at around 20 00 / 8 pm and not midnight ... i also noticed that the day and date indicator are both not copletely centered and tend to be a bit on the upper side then center (both of them) Thats an easy fix or ? Movement apears to run fine othervise and keeps good time ... regards laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix, but I'd not send the watch back to the same guy. He sounds dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 To fix the hand issue you 'just' need to set the time at the moment of date change, remove the hands, and place them back in the correct position (12 o'clock). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Or put differently, the hands were put back on the wrong way. It has happened to me recently as well. My date is changing over at 3 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
