Sub Mariner datewheel Help

[Guest SliceMaster]

Hi guys I have a problem with my Beginmariner that you maybe can help me with: When I was adjusting the date the wheel it stopped in between 2 dates and stayed there, then if I turn the hourhand so around 1030 pm it go to the next date but at 1200 pm it sort of falls down so it stays with 2 dates almost visible, is there a easy fix or should I send it back to Josh as he said when I emailed him an hour ago, how much is the cost of sending a watch to China any ideas?

Heres a pic of how it looks:

Try setting the time after 2 & before 10 (so the hour hand is in the lower 2/3 of the dial) and then try changing the date. The datewheel may have just popped out of its track & that may reseat it. If not, it should be a quick & easy fix for any watchmaker (who is willing to work on a rep). You might try a local watchmaker, since he is likely to charge you only a bit more than it will cost to ship your watch back to China, and a local watchmaker will probably return the watch to you in alot less time than it will take to make the round trip to & from China. But make sure the seller agrees to this since that may void any guarantee the seller provides.

I doubt if the datewheel has jumped track. More than likely, the glue on the overlay has broken loose and the overlay is rubbing against the underneath of the dial. I have also found that in some instances, the dial is simply pressed too tight against the movement which can cause the binding of the date disc.
