Step eight: Hands are off now so we can begin to remove the dial/dialplate from the movement. The dial is secured to the movement with two screws. Do not unwind these screws completely - about 4 or five turns should do. The dial should be loose now - if not unscrew a little more.
The dial place is held in place with two "dial feet" - be careful not to damage them (if they bo of you need to source a new plate) when lifting the dial/plate (slowly and carefuly) from the movement. Sort away the dial/plate.

Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for this.

I know it's been a while since you posted this but I just have a quick question.
After loosening up the screws holding the dial feet, does the dial have a bit of play that you can rotate it slightly?

The reason I'm asking is that the dial on my noob PAM 111 v4 is slight crooked, and I was looking for a way slightly rotate it to straighten it up.

Thanks

Hi, I was wondering where you get spare or upgrade parts?
