Seems simple, but is it?

Hi,

Let me start by saying I'm pretty much a noob, but I'm kind of a perfectionist and pretty mechanically inclined.

I just received a beautiful, white dial, seconds @ 6 2001 Daytona from Andrew. So far (it's only been a couple of hours ) the Asian 7750 is working great (let's hope it stays that way). The only problem I can find with the watch so far is that the 3 (chrono min.) and 9 (chrono hour) subdial hands are slightly misaligned. I'm really tempted to pull the movement out , remove the hands, and reinstall them in the proper position.

I've read up on crown and stem removal in posts from The Zigmeister and feel pretty confident that I can get the movement out and back in.

Is this task as simple as it seems, or is there anything that might trip me up?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Its REALLY hard getting the subdial hands back on and exactly straight....it can be done and is straightforward but it just takes me FOREVER. A loupe might help but not necessary.

Thanks Bosk. I just ordered some cheap hand removal/install tools from an ebay seller. I'll probably try it once I receive them.
