Hi everybody!

I get my new gmt master ii from Puretime 2 days ago, and I have a question.

The date is not 100% centered on the date squad. So, anyone knows if I can fix it chaning the data wheel? or it is a dial failure?

If so, what data wheel can I buy and when?

Thank you!

I can't tell from your pic if the datewheel (DW) is center horizontally, but just so you know, that cannot be changed. Your DW IS off center vertically. Here's a post on how that can be fixed. There is nothing wrong with your dial, and Noob DWs are the best so there is no need to buy a new DW.

There's two likely possibilities.

1. The date wheel is wrong (numbers slightly shifted).
2. The dial is all wrong (date window made in the wrong place).

If it's the former, a new date wheel should fix the issue. I'm not sure how it can be reliably verified though.
If it's the latter, you would need a new dial or to cut and reattach the dial feet to turn it slightly and accept that you ended up with a slightly non-centered dial (unnoticable without making a line on a picture).

Edit: it seems like it's fairly easy to remove and reattach the date wheel overlay, so that would be the best option.

The shape of the datew window makes me think it's the latter, but might be the cyclops distortion or just my bad sight.

Ok thx! check this link: https://puretimewatch.io/gmt-master...ob-best-edition-a3187-correct-hand-stack.html
Play the video in 2k, and check the date, you will see that the date is vertically centered but not horizontally. Mine is the same

You, my watchsmith will try to fix it!

Thank you.

I will try to reatach it, yes.

You can check this video, the date is not horizontally centered, I have the same issue.

The DW on the watch in that video is fine. Yours is not centered vertically, that is good because it is the only offset you can fix. Be very careful removing the hands and dial. It's easy to scratch them up.

Sorry, you were right. The issue is in the puretime example photo, not in the video:

Here you are a new photo of my noob, you can see that the issue is horizontal and a little bit vertical too, maybe, but horizontal is more visible. Right? Maybe Im wrong! (Im new in super clones world). Maybe Im confusing horizontal and vertical in data numbers. What I mean with horizontal is that, in the right side, it has more space than in the left side.

Regarding the Puretime still photo, did you read my post I linked above about how to assess the DW position? Wide cyclops border on top = DW looks low?

https://forum.replica-watch.info/for...el-is-centered

Your new pic has the minute hand in the way! But your DW looks properly centered vertically and left justified horizontally. There is no fix for that other than replacing the DW,

Oh I see. Here you are new photos.

Is left justified :) So, I need a new date disc/wheel. Right? This will fix my problem? Which one can I buy?

You need the same cyclops border all the way around the date window to see the true position of the DW. Your cyclops border is way thicker on the top than the bottom. A properly centered DW should look low at this angle. Yours looks higher than center so using what we know from my linked post, your DW is actually quite offset high as well. That part can be fixed.

Normally the answer to your question "Which one should I buy?" is buy a Noob DW. Since you already have one, it's going to be hard to pick anything better.

The cylops is not thicker on top, its because of the iphone perspective, its ok :). Do you know where can I buy a new DW from Noob? I was awared from puretime that all gmt master II from Noob come with this issue now.
