It's time again for a little tutorial.
With the help of KJ2020 I was able to solve a problem with the VS3135 - Shoutout to the master of Rolex movements
To the initial situation:
I ordered a movement for a build and noticed the following when testing it:
Position 0: Winding works and is VS like, very smooth.
Position 1: Quick shift works, but not 100% crisp all at once
Position 2: Date switches half at 20:00 and then the second half at 0:00.
After KJ2020 took his time and I got a remote diagnosis, I started right away.
First, I removed the date wheel. To do this on the 3135, you have to turn this screw 90 degrees, and then you can just pull the wheel out.
Then I loosened the screw from the part that is responsible for the date switching - the visible disc with the nipple that is attached to the date wheel.
Now comes the trick: It is important that the two parts that sit on top of each other engage. This means that the nipple must go into the hole of the upper disk and the disk must be absolutely horizontal. Then the screw must be tightened so that it has no play.
When it is reassembled it should look like this:
The thin arm of the spring can also be stretched a little outward, so the spring gets more tension and the date switching is more crisp.
Then reassemble everything and the date switched as it should.
I hope I could impart a little knowledge
