AS90 5 Posted May 5, 2013 Dial swap went quite well, the studs broke off the back of the new dial as soon as the touched the movement but I rescued it with sticky tape. However, after refitting the crown and stem I can't set the time or wind it. Looks great but wish I had just left it now :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's quite easy, refitting the hands was the hardest part. Not sure what I did with the keyless though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted May 5, 2013 How did you press the stem release plunger? You need to use a screwdriver that fits in the slot so that you can't push the plunger too far. You also need to pull the stem out to the time setting position, before releasing the stem. As you have found refitting the hands is by far the hardest thing to do.. Resetting the keyless works is really easy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AS90 5 Posted May 5, 2013 Must have pulled the stem straight out. Do the guides above show everything I need to do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerkstore 14 Posted May 5, 2013 You also need to pull the stem out to the time setting position, before releasing the stem. I always pull out the stem from the winding position. Never had a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AS90 5 Posted May 5, 2013 Got it all back together as per the guide but still not working. The clutch return lever had popped out of the clutch groove, I guess some bits may have moved around again as I was re-assembling. Think I will have to send this one to be repaired :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Well at least you tried mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted May 5, 2013 Check that you haven't bent the clutch lever, you could always buy some replacement parts from Ofrei (US) or Cousins (UK) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted May 5, 2013 How did you press the stem release plunger? You need to use a screwdriver that fits in the slot so that you can't push the plunger too far. Good advice here ^^^ Carrying out this will prevent you messing up the keyless works as the overlap of the flat screwdriver prevents you from pushing the round release button too far down.

paulc 0 Posted May 5, 2013 I have some keyless bits from a 2836 clone that are going spare if you want them, unfortunately the winding pinion and clutch are knackered but the other bits are ok, I think the 2836 and 2824 are the same all but for the day wheel. just let me know. your watch looks fantastic by the way.

Thanks buddy, I'll take it apart again tomorrow and have another go. Will give you a shout if I need them. no worries they are surplus so just holla, check the tutorials it is not so hard to do but from what i have found on my own keyless is that the winding pinion and clutch were shot but a common mistake seems to be not pushing the yolk end under the keyless cover upon assembly, goodluck with it.
