Despite jerkstore's tutorial, I removed this screw any way to take off the wheel. Don't have the patience at the moment.

Snapped off a fresh blade and away we go.

Good ol' overlay on overlay crap.

Date wheel back on. Easy peasy with the spring exposed.

Stem back in, in an effort to retain the movement. I want to stop now but it's almost the good part.

Done. Now to reassemble. For a moment, I forgot how.

There's something I'm forgetting but I don't know what.

Nice work.

 

How about 13's side? Is it centred either?

The other side of the overlay is fine too.

They're all a tiny bit skewed to the left. The only way to fix is to adjust the dial position, which I don't have the energy or care to do for this one.

 

Zzzzzzz...

The sad thing is, anytime I want to pick this up I'll probably grab the GV Milgauss instead.

You shouldn't worry about being tired, you'd just about be able to do these asleep by now!

 

Thanks for sharing.

I'm guessing if I was well rested and without the play-by-play pics, I could be done in about 45-55 minutes. This is also budgeting for one adjustment after reassembling.

Fair play Sir - I'm always impressed by the people who can do this for themselves, i'd serioulsy f**k up the watch, lose my patience and throw it at the wall after approx 5 mins! Excellent job.
