I just stripped an Enicar AR 160 ready to clean and put back together, when taking it apart I noticed that the intermediate wheel was installed with the chamfer facing up (see pictures) and the straight edge facing down. I have always seen this the other way around ie chamfer facing down, but there are always exceptions to every rule, so is this one of them? I am wondering if I should reinstall it as I found it, or place it with the chanfer down as I have seen in most other watches where there is a chamfer present on the wheel... any advice from the forum? I'm not sure if I am the first in the watch as the screw heads looked pristine, but a few were loose, and there were no markings on the back of the case (see pictures below) however, it would be quite difficult to do it on this kind of pressed case back, but there were a lot of strange scratchings on the back of the dial (see pictures), so just wondering if this is how some other watch maker marked their work for this kind of case back?? If I am the first in the watch then the intermediate wheel was installed chamfer up in the factory, so I should reinstall it this way, if I am not the first in there, then maybe the person before me installed it incorrectly? My fear is that if I try it the wrong way I start chipping off teeth from the sliding pinion! What would you advise?
