Little problem with my gmt-master II

[Bassman3401]

Hello!!

I have a little problem with my gmt-master II.

As you can see in the first picture, sometime the date is misaligned:




Then i scroll my wrist and it came back in position:




Any idea on how to fix that problem?

Thanks!!

take out the dial and align the wheel .the dial might not be sitting too well to the movement maybe..

So this means i have to remove also all the hands(hours/mins/secs/gmt)?

How can i do that without making a mess?

If you do not have a mess, you need to go to watchrepair men...

and where's the fun in that??

You have not mentioned what movement it has. 2813 21 jewel or 2836 eta type ?? ............ Anyway, try this trick that has worked sometimes with me. Go to date adjustment. But don't don't do a 'quick-set. Do it the hard laborious way of going around and around for 30 days. [that's 60 rounds around the clock. Then stop somewhere from 2pm to 10pm. Then go set your date accordingly by going about it the hard way. No quick setting. And see if it eliminated the problem. ..........also, remember never to set the date between 10pm and 2am in a 'quickset' way for now. It might work for you. Has with me, and don't ask me why !! Perhaps rough gears ?? ............. try it before anything else. Let us know.

The watch has a 21j movement, I will surely try later and let you know!!

Maybe Junio? I don't know. He's the only one I know in Italy.

Heres my guess.....your datewheel is dragging on the underside of the dial

Sorry but i don't understand what you mean......

 

[Raddave]

The datewheel of the movement, the part that the actual dates are printed on, is touching the the dial from below, creating drag, and restricting the rotation of the datewheel.

 

[Bassman3401]

Now it's clear....the only thing is to find a way to solve this problem....

can someone get me in touch with junio?? What's his forum name?

 

[Raddave]

Well for starters you can loosen the movement clamps slightly and see if the problem persists.

Good tips [MENTION=62122]SUMIKITO[/MENTION] and [MENTION=42327]Raddave[/MENTION]. Rep points to both of you!! If I were to also have sticky dates with a certain series of days on the datewheel, would both of these tricks mentioned be a good fix? So first try Sumikito's trick and then if it persists, open the case and try loosening the movement tabs a little bit? Not all dates stick. Just a series of them. It goes fine, then hits that series and sticks, then afterwards runs fine again. Sometimes resting overnight on its side helps, so it must be too tight in there.

A good help could be a visual tutorial or some pics. Since i'm italian is very difficult for me to understand the se technical tips in english language...

thanks to all of you for your help!!
