Sunken Date Mod

What would be the cause for the hands slipping? Not enough pressure?

Oops, I meant the date is slipping off centre. By that I mean when I use the quickset it seems to center well, but when it flips at midnight it looks a little off. I'll have to play with it and adjust it at a later date and just enjoy it as is for a bit.

My respect. This seems hard as heck.

So, and I ask this with the most respect possible, would it be best to get a 7753 and gen b23 date wheel if you want to Franken?

I added a gen 7753 to my navitimer, which was easy enough, but somehow mucked up the balance spring, luckily dogwood could fix it.
During the process the chrono seconds hand also came apart (flat hand part separated from the tiny tube) had to press it back on, that was tricky.
Other than that, the 7753 has a great looking flush date but no quickset date change and the case doesn’t have a hole in the side to press the date change button (panerai 187 has this)
So setting the date on the Navi is a massive pain and it lives on a winder.
The reason I held onto that blue Navi I sent you rdross is the movement has a flush date and non working right subdial with quick date change already done and would probably be an easy swap into another watch.

I probably should have started my own thread but instead tagged along on faraxs’ to keep all the info together.

Breitling Navitimer A23322 franken project

I have decided to franken a BP Navitimer A23322. Here is the base watch that I will use: Was thinking about buying a gen panda dial, but it is impossible to get one so I will stick with the rep one. Maybe one day I will be lucky and then will change for the genuine one. I was also thinking about ...
