No picture information about it, just some guys talking about how to change it fast.

I'm not a watchmaker so i wanted to know how they did it.

It's very simple to do and you dont have to remove any screws from the movement.

Here we go,

Set the crown on fast date change, turn the crown slow so the notches on the datewheel and movement are the same.



Get something sharp and lift the datewheel up,



Voila, the old datewheel is airborne now!

Installing the new datewheel goes like this,

Just lay the datewheel on the Stem side and align it perfect on the other side with the notches where you started.



Press firmly the datewheel on the movement while turning very slow the crown.



Bravo, you just installed a new datewheel.
