FINALLY!!
After many attempts and many failures, I have FINALLY disassembled a dial, changed the day/datewheel and out the hands back on the dial!!
It doesn’t sound like much but felt like a great accomplishment for me!

I really feel like the correct day/date disks bring it a lot closer to being a very accurate rep!!

I appreciate it!! Felt great!! Haha, clicked on the chrono... I bent the minute hand up just enough and maybe the chrono stick bent down just enough where they rub and stop the chrono...
simole fix, but it’s been a two attempt two night ordeal and I’m really dreading taking it out of the case AGAIN!! But it will be done and fixed with Care..

...I’ve said it before I will again.. slide rule does it!! Crystal is amazing ????!
youvknow my favorite one is the stratos though..

Got this today. Was hoping I could deal with the sunken date, but probably can't.
Can anything be done?
