Yeah, you need thatThanks for the reply again! Totally forgot the golden cog which connects the timesetting :') im such a noob
Great work.
Great one at a great price was tempted as well. Should both be an easy fix and cheap
If date doesn't change automatically is problem here somewhere
It is! You can swap anything except the "regulator deco"Just out of curiosity, was this a VSF seamaster? I have a broken one. I should be able to swap in a 2824-2/PT5000 as well? Any particular specific variation of those movements I would need? I will probably destroy the hands but if I had the exact movement may be able to bring it to someone. Although the crown stripping issues is happening. I should probably just cut my losses and get another. It's just so darn good though, lol.
Fixed it, it was the same problem that caused the hour hand not to fit... so it didnt engage anythinf in the date change

A crown is not that expensive and easy replace, i bought this movement and it runs around 4 sec a day.
I just found this great item on AliExpress. Check it now! €55.08 49%OFF | Genuine HK PT5000 Automatic Mechanical Movement Gold/Silver Version Top Clone 2824-2 High Accuracy 25 Jewels
might be helpful. no idea of qualityThanks you very much! I just bought that movement in the link. Any idea where to source a crown besides asking a TD? After watching your video this seems like something I can do. I had a lot of trouble re-inserting hands one time I tried before on a 2836 and unsuccessful with a second hand on a Miyota 8xxx movement but I guess I can't make a broken watch worse right? Fingers crossed. Would be great to have my seamaster working again. Thanks again.
