Love your posts a lot, thank you KJ !

Maybe, if there's enough clearance in Position 2, a very thin washer on the upper side of the curved spring washer could help to increase the preload of the spring?

Maybe so bro, good suggestion. It could even be teflon or nylon as there is no friction wear there during winding and it would be minimal during date changing and time setting. I think that my rep curved spring washer may be shot though, looks like there's no more spring in its step, lol. Might have to just cut it away and install a better one.

Hope you find a good fitting one bro, unfortunately chinese movements often lack in the spring parts, too strong, too soft or whatever.. One other reason i could imagine for the wheel not going back in position 1 could be oil or grease on the washer sticking it to the bridge or the crown wheel just enough to take its needed strength, or was it the same after a cleaning ?

No modification. I had to adjust for beat error which you would have to do on almost all watches. On the other one I did I had to adjust beat error and timing slightly. It fits and operates perfectly.

Hi,

I recently bought my first ever replica. An Rolex Submariner 41 126610 LV - VSF.
Just recieved the QC pictures but i think the Date Wheel looks terribly bad!

I would really appreciate it if anybody would be willing to look at it and give their own opinion and maybe compare to your own watch. What do you think about my QC pics overall? What do you think about the Date Wheel?

Look at the number "2" on the date wheel. Looks very bent and misaligned
