Gant West Creek W10373 weekday problem

[Ephex]

Hey.

I recently bought a used watch whose batteries needed to be swapped. Today, I went to a watch shop and they fixed it for me, but they also noticed that it couldn't show the day of the week. The indicator is stuck outside of any days:

The leftmost picture is from me, while the other two were from the seller.

Is there any way to fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Odds are good that the hand for the DoW indicator has come off the pinion, or at least become loose. If you were to remove the hand entirely and replace it, through some trial and error of resetting the date you could probably find how it should be oriented. Ideally when testing, put it back loosely so that it stands proud enough to not get fouled on the dial.

It is also possible that the day needs to be rest after the watch battery was replaced.

You would need the calibre number of the movement to look that up though, but most likely as qhartman says the hand has just come loose and needs to be refitted, but that will require the movement to be removed from the watch

Thanks for the answers! Is this something that a watch shop could fix?
