Indigo38 0 Posted May 18, 2013 Very impressive (however to me the datewheels look almost identical apart from a bolder font?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I opted for slightly smaller (not 2.0mm) so it would be compatible with more bracelets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerkstore 14 Posted May 18, 2013 Great work mate, and informative photos as usual, thanks for sharing. I was under the impression, to remove the date wheel, you didn't need to remove anything, just a spring loaded release? Technically. I guess I can partially twist the date wheel and pull up. There is a notch the teeth go in and the slide under a lip. It's between the two circles I put in that pic. Yup, just line the teeth up with the notches. Depress the spring and lift up. Keep in mind that as you do this, you have to shift the DW to the crown side slightly, since its partially covered by the keyless plate. LG: nice work. Always fun to read. The real-time thing is ballsy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerkstore 14 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Can't depress the spring when the DWO is on since its covered... Actually, you can depress that spring blind, once you have a feel for its location. Or, just remove the DWO first since you're trying to fix its alignment. The blind method is good to use if you just need to fix the keyless or something, but you like the alignment. The hard part is trying get the DW back on again with the DWO already in place. Tricky, but it can be done. Edited May 18, 2013 by jerkstore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerkstore is right, it just takes one side of fine tip tweezers inserted through the gap in the case to compress the spring enough to allow the wheel to drop.

I can't access the spring part even with thin sharp tweezers. Getting it on with the overlay covering it... I can do that in my sleep now The spring is where the green dot is, unless I'm mistaking which spring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted May 19, 2013 Well if you can do it without tweezers, great! It's the elusive "G-spot". The green spot. I don't know how to get it off though, it's just popped off the other times. This one I unscrewed that part per some other tutorial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
