drop Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi there. Replaced my 3717 day and date wheels but I'm still having trouble with the day wheel... the spring and click tab seem OK, but the day wheel disenegages after a day change or two - leaving me in between days in the window. Most frustrating as everything seems lined-up fine. Any advice? Also my stem feels too short, does anyone know the appropriate part number for the replacement? Finally, the darn 3 and 6 dial indicies are cracked. Has anyone devised a fix for these or know of a good replacement (marshmallow maybe? ) Cheers!

The right arm of the spring is not correctly placed (black arrow). It must be on the left side of the piece where is resting now. If this is your problem, and you want to solve it, I recommend you to follow this procedure: Remove ONLY the upper screw. Then try to place the right arm of the spring in the correct place. How? I cannot see it!!. Just try it. You will know that it is correctly placed when you press the head of the piece (green arrow) and the piece returns to its original position (the spring is working). In my opinion, this is an easier option instead of removing all the parts.

drop Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thank you both very much! That spring definitely has a tendency to pop out - if that's not the problem I'll try the dial washer. Now, it's just a pity I have to buy a new dial to fix those darn hour markers... at least I got a good deal on the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
