OK here are the pics

Its kind of just a pictorial of swapping the Standard BCE date wheel for the one that Lello has produced.

Im not going to go into the details of how to do it, if you want to know that then please see Pugwash's post on changing date wheels.

I have to say that it looks great and recommend it to anyone. Also thanks to Lello, This forum is truly a great place to be!

HOWEVER, i have noticed that the date sometimes sticks, i.e. it doesnt fully change over at Midnight. It happens randomly and im not sure why. Not sure if its a date wheel problem or what. Maybe The Zigmeister can shed some light on it when he does some.

Anyway enjoy!

Pic showing the difference between the 2 date wheels, you can clearly see the difference, Lello's date wheel is great!

SWEEEEET!

Maybe it sticks because the wheel is thicker than the rep wheel????

sorry guys, I have had mine for some time now, and wanted to post. But as soon as I've got mine back from Zig, I was off to travel. as I am still off traveling now, I hope maybe I can take a pic or two to contribute too. but mine is not printed as correctly in some dates, but still, would not hesitate to recommend Lello's wheel. anybody that has a BCE should think about this upgrade.

Excellent job lello!

ajoesmith: I had hang-up problems w/ 3 of 5 aftermarket DW/overlay installs (Mark's 2893, lello 2893, and Watchmeisters overlay) that required fine adjustment of both gear that advances the DW as well as the spring at 8:00 (sorry, cant remember the parts names). I know he slightly bent the spring so that the part that comes in contact between the teeth sat higher but I don't know what he did to the gear.
