Evening everybody.

How easy is it to change the date wheel on a 2813 movement? Has anybody got experience, pictures of the disassembly or any tips to help me along the way? I know there cheap and throwaway but I'm doing a favour for a friend.

Thank you

Kyle

I guess it is a DG2813 movement you mean? Look for Miyota 8200,8215 as that is the original? DG2813 is a clone. 

Could be two things wrong if the date doesn't work? There is a little spring that can unhock or date wheel broken?

Depends how much experience you have in tinkering with watches?

There are also two variations of the dg2813 out there regarding the date function. 

And this is the other one. The wheel is mounted with a circlip which can break easily. 

Can not comment on this type. I have it but i did not needed to disassemble it. 

The other one is pretty straightforward. Moreower, as i remember it was easy to reassemble, since all springs were secured with screws so no chance to fly away parts.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By Geotex · Posted

      It's probably a cardinal rule for watch repair to never get distracted while at the bench. Yesterday, after finishing a tricky mainspring winding/barrel insertion (I didn't have a winder and arbor that fit very well) I mentally shifted down a gear once that hurdle was passed. There were other things going on in the room as I put the barrel and cover into the barrel closer and pressed to get that satisfying snap. But when I took it out I realized I never placed the arbor.  When opening a barrel, we are relying on the arbor to transfer a concentrically-distributed force right where it is needed at the internal center of the lid. However, when that isn't present it's difficult to apply pressure or get leverage considering the recessed position of the lid, the small holes in the barrel and the presence of the mainspring coils. It was a beat-up practice movement so I didn't take a lot of time to think it over and I pushed it out using a short right-angle dental probe placed in from the bottom, but that did leave a bit of a scratch and crease in the thin lid. I had also thought about pulling it using a course-threaded screw with a minor thread diameter smaller than the lid hole and a major diameter larger, but that may have done some damage as well.  Thinking about how this might have been handled had it been a more valuable movement, is there a method using watchmaking or other tools that should extract the lid with the least damage?

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      🤔 what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ? Making a small groove so the lubrication doesn't spread across the component but what if when lubing a little overspills and sits on the epilame .

      Why just the bottom mike ? Is it worth polishing the whole arm ?

      Setting lever spring

      The one thing I took time over was to round and polish the curves at the bottom of the jumper arm. The slightest mark (left over from cutting of filing) acts as a stress raiser, just where you don't need it.

      I printed the base and it is a bit too large to fit on the base of the hand setter. The ring bumps into the column so it is unable to full seat on the central ring. I'm going to try removing some of the materal and see if I can't get it to go down.
