Skidbaecken Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I need to open my Aquatimer, as the datewheel got misaligned. Somewhere I have read that (I think it was K2222) when opening the case a spring jumped through the room and was newer found again. Is it safe to open the watch, remove the movement and re-align the datewheel without damaging the rotating inner bezel mechanism? Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yes, it's safe to open it, if you have the appropriate skills and tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Listen... if it ticks, there could be a bomb inside LOL Realigning the datewheel isn't a simple job. Like Taka said you need the right tools and skills. It involves removing the crown, taking out the movement and taking off the dial and hands. Without the right tools and skills you probably end up causing more harm than good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidbaecken Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I have all the tools and are experienced in removing the movement. I haven removed hands or dial yet but need to start practicing this. May not start with the Aquatimer but another watch yet. So no springs jumping into my face from the pusker/inner rotating bezel mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidbaecken Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 opened it - not a big deal - unfortunately I have to remove hands and dial to get to the scewed daywheel - will initiate this project another time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
