I got this submariner several years ago, don't recall from where. I just recently re-discovered it in pieces, in a box. So, I set about putting it back together to evaluate it, cause I wasn't smart enough to write a note on why I took it apart.
First problem: It looks like the calendar wheel is offset to the outside of the window, but I think the window itself is the problem, being set too far inward:
However, if you look at the calendar wheel relative to the movement, it is what it is. Meaning, there is no way to install a smaller diameter one that would align the numbers to the left in the window.
To me, it seems the easiest fix is to get a windowless dial, plus a crystal without the magnifier window. But first, I need to identify the movement. Am struggling with that. I'm sure someone here knows what it is...
