Rolexman Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 The keyless works popped on my SSD Lite so I tried to fix it myself. I have all the right tools and know my way around watches. I did it with the help of Toads/ Ajoesmith's great tutorial on swapping a DG2813 for a 4813. No problemo Everything went according to plan and the watch is all assembled en looks perfect but now I noticed the date jumps 2 dates at once at midnight???... how is that even possible? If I set the date by hand it jumps just 1 date like it should. Everything works perfect, just for this one little thing. Any input is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I would check the date spring and see how it looks, and then I would remove the dial and test it and watch what is happening, then you should be able to see why this is happening.

Rolexman Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Thanks Zigg. I found out what it was. It wasn't the spring but the arm (don't know what it's called) I installed it facing down instead of up. Pic courtesy of Toadtorrent During my fix I broke the spring for the date quick set . I know this movement is cheap as hell but I just wanted to ask if someone perhaps have a spare which he wants to sell me? Or maybe know where to order one? I've put all my effort into fixing this movement and would take it as a defeat if I had to order a new one... if that makes any sense ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've got one with the same broken spring. And it broke without me touching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check on it and let you know. Update: I found it and it appears to be the same movement. You can have it. Just let me know where to send it.
