Need help with keyless works 2836

I have re-assembled the keyless works over and over again. Still the date quicksetting doesn't work. Winding works as does time setting.

It's like the stem doesn't push the sliding pinion far enough to reach the setting wheel and engage with the date intermediate wheel.

Hope somebody can tell me what I apparently don't see.... :(

It can only be one of two things:

1. The quickset gear for the calendar is not free to slide towards the datewheel when you turn the crown (it moves laterally in and out of engagement with the calendar)

2. The quickset gear is defective.

If it winds and sets the time, then everything else has to be correct.

If you turn the crown in the date adjust setting, what does the calendar quick set gear do? Turning CW and CCW what happens? The answer to these questions will show you the problem...

I'm sure you've done it already, but double-check to be sure all the gears in your works are facing the correct drection, the pieces are all in their proper locations.

Sometimes when screwing things back together some of the parts slide around...
