Datewheel on a ETA 2846

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

Just tried that. It worked first attempt. So many tutorials on the forums say “Take this or that cover off” or “Remove the DWO first”. Not necessary with your method. No tools needed except a fine pointed object - I used a pair of number 5 tweezers. Can’t thank you enough buddy.

Glad it worked for you! I still use a variation of this method after all these years.

This helped me replace a datewheel! Thank you! I had to remove a plate on the front and then the rest ways easy.

Hello Rick you still modding watches ? Is it position to swap out a Miyota 8215 with either an ETA 2824 or 2836? I know I will need new hands , Overlay and movement spacer , Stem . Thank you 🙏

[@archie6300]

great, thanks... I used a bit of paper to click back into position... My tweezers were too thick

[@Lonnie91a]

Good video. I was wondering how to do that with the overlay attached. Thank you.

nice

Followed this procedure and it appeared to work out fine. However now the date wheel jumps off its location when the date changes at midnight or when adjusting. The date wheel jumps out and falls from the movement. Bigdiesel

I can't get the date wheel on my 2824 to stay on either. Did you find a solution?

my datewheel is not changing....i have tried to move the hands...should i take it to a jeweller

[@nicknack8459]

Sounds like it was snapped by someone changing the date between 9pm and 3am. 2824, 2836 and others have an arm that engages during 1/4th of the day. If you change the date between this time you will notice stiffness and metal grinding. Eventually the arm will snap and the date will no longer move automatically. Cheap movement to replace though. Especially if you get an asian clone from ebay or similar.

Just remove the plate in the middle, its easier that way
