How To Put The Date Plate Back To The Dial Of Tag Heur

[Tonychu]

I dissemble my Tag heur and mess around with the date plate .After I used the epoxy to glue back the wheel underneath of the date plate . It seems to me it looks fine now. Now the problem that I don't know how to put the plate back the dial.. I mean aligned in order date and day work when I turn the stem

You should be able to wiggle it a little and you should feel it go into place, don't push to hard because you could do damage, If that doesn't work move it round to the holes you have near to the engage lever and try tweezers to move the lever until it is engaging. Now fit the little clip and push home with tweezers. Fit dial but don't press the dial down as you might  press to hard and damage what is under the dial. Set stem in the hand setting position,turn until you see the day and date change that will be at12 and fit hands make sure hands aren't touching anything and you should be good to go. If it has a rapid day/date change all the better you can save a lot of time in getting to the correct day date.

As oldhippy says, only ting is did you properly index the day wheel with the day star (little gear wheel)? Unless you manage to get them in the exactly right location your day wont align centrally in the window,

I have tried to re-glue several and getting the indexing right can be a real pain.

I came across this once.

 

I had to mark an index on the gear and on the day wheel.. then I used a bit of super-glue to 'tack' it in place.. didn't get it right so softened the super glue (cyanoacrilate CYA) with some actone, move it a bit more, using the index marks I made earlier..back and forth etc..  to about  5 tries.

 

I would think epoxy would be too thick, if the wheel ends up a bit thicker it will rub on the dial. Even using CYA I made sure I clamped the day-wheel assembly to ensure that it was as thin as possible.

To add.. i was getting a bit pissed as the marks I'd made didnt seem to be helping.. I was contemplating gluing a needle on the star wheel to give me an extended pointer to enable 'finer' movements, didn't have to in the end.
