I'm so stoked....

I bought a YM from WBK on rwi and the date font was bold......i HATED that, only wore the watch once on a day where the font was decent....

today I thought what the hell, lets try changing the date wheel with one from an old noobmariner.....

I DID IT WITHOUT BREAKING THE WATCH!!!!

Sorry to those who think its not a big deal....I'm just happy with this watch now.

lol

here is a pic...

hey man just a question.. my rolex yachtmaster is broken (bezel fell off and also the hourmarkers fell off too).. i would like to take the movement apart and put it into my noobmariner.. i managed to find out how to remove the crown and the stem.. but i'm still having trouble on how to unscrew the movement holder.. the smallest screwdriver i got was 1.0m/m and it wasn't small enough to open it.. does anyone know how i can uncscrew the movement holder? thanks :)

That screw should need a larger than 1mm driver Maybe 1.4,but if your tool is not sharpe enough then it will not fit in the slot and then you cant undo it.

BTW are you aware that you noob dial wont fit the ETA works!

really? is there any modification to fit the dial in? because i've heard people say putting a noob dial on their MBW watch? :S.. i don't know :)

Good job. did u just glue the new overlay in place? or did you swap out the whole datewheel?
