I read a lot about not centered date wheels at the PAM389 reps. Some guys reject watches just because of this issue.
So let's see how we can fix it.
First step, as always, remove your strap (should be no problem for a PAM-guy) and open the case back.
I use some gloves for this job, these are grip or sticky gloves and this works very well. You can also use a sticky ball or any other case open tool.
Remove the black gasket
And the "antimagnetic" case. The cover has a little black arrow, underneath this arrow you find a slot where you can lift it with a screwdriver.
Now we see the A7750 movement decorated as a p.9000 movement.
Unfortunately we have to remove the main decorations for this job.
Ok, the first step is removing the rotor. The three little screws at the rotor are just deco and glued. You can remove this screws and the deco plate with a tweezers.
Now you see the real rotor screw. Use your tweezers again to unscrew and remove the rotor
Next step is removing the main deco plate. This plate is fixed to the movement with just 3 screws. Remove the screws and lift the plate.
A lot of work just to find this two clips
But we need this clips for the realignment. Because the dial at this watch is fixed with the case and the movement is fixed to the dial, with this two clips.
So is the watch sloppy assembled from the factory is the date wheel not aligned with the dial.
To fix this issue you have to remove first the CG and the crown.
Push careful this little bottom and remove the stem
Now just loose the screws at the two clips. Don't unscrew, just make the screws a bit loose.
If this is done you can move the movement under the dial a bit to both sides.
And see what happens with the DW.
I don't set the date here. I just move the movement under the dial. Use a screwdriver and find a stable point at the movement to move it. For example this point
The trick now is finding the middle at the date cutout. If this is done, just fix the two clips and the date is centered.
But notice, the small second hand at 9 moves also. So be careful. Is the date centered to the cut out should be the second hand also centered.
Now just assembly your watch at the same way and everything should be fine.
I just have a PAM389 from KW with the A7750 movement but i thing this should also work with a seagull movement because the case construction should be the same.
This should also work at a PAM438 with a A7750 movement.
Thanks for reading and fell free to ask if you have any questions
