"Batman" Date Wheel Overlay Upgrade

Recommended Posts

LightGeek

As many of you may know, one of my biggest pet peeves is a crooked or crappy date wheel overlay. There have been plenty of teardown threads about it already so I'm just going to let the pictures tell the story this time. I managed to do this in 30 minutes which is crazy because I really REALLY hate trying to stack GMT hands. Even from the "factory" the GMT hand is bent up to clear the indices.

By the way, those fingerprints on the movement are not mine... though I can tell you they aren't there anymore!

Dammit man! If you had replied just 30 minutes sooner I would have said "forget it" and sent it hahaha! I'm too damn impulsive.
