3 1/2. take off second hand. i use the bent type tweezers and a piece of plastic bag on the dial.
4. i use a ball point pen, the kind that you can remove the parts with the ink/ball. you will see when you remove it.

Just spent 2 hours taking it apart and successfully fixing the issue. Thank you for your input, thanks to you I was able to do it 🙏🏻 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Its okay guys, we now know he was hit in the head. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
It’s caused by a fake Rolex. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
I will never not be surprised by the amount of people that get pressed about a watch being “fake” in a Rep subreddit, like what did you expect coming here? people asking questions about gens? 😂 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Thanks man! Super helpful comment!:) | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
I dont have my submariner yet, but jf its anything like a Jaguer Lecoulter heres what you do. When you take out the movement remove the metal plate over the date wheel. You’ll see a flat spring that locks in the position, remove the spring and then you just bend the tip up or down slightly depending on the direction ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |

Check my post, you’ve change the date at the wrong time damaging a part. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
That was my worry! I thought about it after… tbh I though I had pulled the crown all the way out and was changing the time 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Probably not related but was taught to change date with hands set to 6:30 before adjusting the date…and to avoid 9-3 altogether so you don’t damage the movement. Gl and hope it is a simple fix. Stunning watch btw. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-25-07 |
Bro this was sarkasm just get the thing to a watchmaker if you havent got the tools and knowledge to to this simple task yourself is literally 2 seconds worth of work and a 40c pin | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
“Bro” I have the tools. I was simply asking what size the screw was. Seeing as I bought a 90 piece kit from esslinger and none fit like the one I fucked up | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
There are about 18 different sizes for rolex screws, without knowing the exact model you have i'd say its a 13.6mm | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Buy yourself a $10 digital micrometer from Amazon. Its pure gold tool for watch collectors. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-29-07 |
If you still have this bracelet I could really use the clasp | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
I bought another screw. I will be buying a new bracelet in September so if u still need it in a month I’ll pm you. It’s scratched though…. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-08-08 |
Man this isn't a sub where we service you | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Remember to test your new movement before replacing it. You don't want to end up with a equally poorly performing movement even after you've replaced it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
isn’t it just to buy a bezel then put it on lol? i just want a black gmt bezel | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
didn’t know they were that expensive but thanks 🙏🏼 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
They aren’t expensive, but to get it to fit on a watch that it isn’t meant for and look good is expensive. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
cant i just buy one with the correct measurements then take it off and put the other one on? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
just so you know, the dial may work with the 3135, but as others have said, the case may not be sized for a 3135. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
That’s what I’m afraid of, the 2836 movement that came with this case also came with a spacer/adapter to make the movement fit tight in the case, so I’m thinking that 3135 might fit and fill in that space without the adapter | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Is there any link I can use to order the movement? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Aliexpress | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
the 2813 is native GMT? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
shucks I didn't see it was a GMT watch. So no it is not. Usually they will add a fourth hand via a modification. But for ease of swapping they do sell gmt 2813 and there is no miyota equilivent.
Like I said this is not an easy task, and be prepared in case it doesn't work out. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I have a BP datejust 41 with a 2813 currently. I wanna swap movement and bezel and crystal.
What is the best moment to replace the 2813? I want a 28800 beats movement and I kinda want it a little thinner so I can put a more closer to gen bezel and crystal in it. | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Appreciate anyone who can help answer this! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Did you have the dial exchange with you in your consideration? Thats an obstacle as well | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
You will need a new set of dial, hands, and datewheel if you're going to attempt a movement swap. Not to mention a new case or custom spacer for the case since your drop in movement will likely be of different stem heights. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
With all that will be required, you are honestly probably better off to just sell the one you have currently have and buy a VSF or clean. You are going to basically only be keeping the case and bracelet. Not really worth it on a BP. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Is there a tread on the pin? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Because it’s a screw?
Pushing it in will do nothing and the screws on that part is shorter than for the other links | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
I’m not being funny but if you didn’t realise that that is a screw head then I think it might be dangerous give me a screwdriver | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |

Hey everyone, very new here so apologies if I’m asking for too much or if it’s not appropriate to ask. I’ve been looking to get an Explorer I and really have been wanting the new VSF for the accurate movement.

Hard to source gen parts for that watch, but try nickwatchstore | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Thank you! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
The movement aside, it's a terrible rep. Wrong case, wrong bracelet width, hence doesn't look like the iconic gen at all.
Why spend money and franken the movement of a watch that is so far from the gen anyway? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
I was talking to an TD and got some information about their new batch with the correct lug width and bracelet. It looks like it’s been corrected/updated. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
That's interesting. Lets keep the fingers crossed that they indeed updated the watch so quickly. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Yeah! Just waiting to confirm. If it’s been corrected then I’d like to move forward with making mods to make it as gen as possible. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Speaking for myself (other watchmakers may differ), when it comes to modding I ask customers to source all the parts themselves. Finding gen parts is a bit of leg work but your sources are as good as mine: eBay, chrono24, rarecollections.it. Then once they have everything in hand they can send the parts to me for the m... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Why? VSF movement is already good | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Not sure if you’re interested but I just got confirmation of the updated lug and bracelet sizes to match gen for the 36mm | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
That’s great news. Which TD confirmed the update? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

Hi all! I just completed my first order on Raffles. I'm gonna end up using a DG2813 or an 8215 for a 1016 build.
Now, l've worked with those moments plenty in the past... BUT the stupid seconds hand pinion stem snaps... every single damn time.
Do you guys have any advice on how to not ruin the pinion, my day, and my p... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
You might be using too much strength to put on the hands. I'd highly advise going for a 2824 or 2836 for your build though. Much more reliable movements compared to the chinese 2813 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Same here bro!! Working with the same movement. Smashed 2 pinions already. My prob was it was hitting the minute hand and moved with it when setting.
Someone recommended using a better movement but I’ll keep using the cheaper ones until I figure this shit out!! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
LOL right!! Don’t wanna ruin any expensive shit, not yet!
Keep it cheap, brother! 😎 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
2813's are notoriously fragile. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
This is correct!!! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
The problem is your frustrations and failures are stemming from the movement platform you're working with. This doesn't happen on an ETA based watch.
It's hard for me to help you not snap a pinion in this situation. You could broach the hand a bit, if it's too tight and you're pressing too much, broach, try again. A ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |

Hmm.. I swapped an old one last week that still worked after a decade just water damage had stained the datewheel and hand's lume, and it wasnt running well from the water ingress, but still ticked.. hands came off easy, new one and new hands went in fine.
How are you taking them off? which hand puller/setting tools (... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
It’s a crappy movement for a lot of reasons, and there are so many better options to learn on. I get the stubbornness. I do. But some battles ain’t worth fighting because at the end of the day it’ll still be a crappy movement in a watch you could have easily built better. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

Any rep-friendly watchmaker in Lisbon, Portugal?
| r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Hello,
I wonder if a datejust dial from Rafflesdials designed for a 2824 movement will fit onto a Nh35 movement.
Obviously I have to cut the feet and glue the dial onto the Nh35 movement. The important thing is if the date window of the 2824 datejust dial will align with the date wheel of the Nh35 movement.
Would ... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
None of these are worth it, go Gen and do a 3135 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
It is extremely close but it doesn't align correctly. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
what you mean? the vintage dials look good | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I will agree to disagree | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
argumentation please so others can learn including me | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
for about $120, you can buy a gen DJ36 dial off ebay. with a 3135 movement, you can use the raffles 2824 case and make a really, really nice watch. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Why use spend $5 on a cheap screen protector when you can spend around $20 for a quality one that won’t crack upon impact.
The point being is that if you can acquire a Gen dial and a 3135 you will have a solid build. Of course all depends on your budget but I like to do things right. Pay once cry once.
With a raffl... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
yeah i suppose but ive no choice for the onyx build im doing only dials i found are 650, just really depends what build ur doing | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
no onyx dials for 120 so it all depends on build | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
i am not into the onyx dials, so i wouldnt know about those. good point. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
thats the thing a common gen vintage datejust is really affordable for a rolex but ive been looking for a datejust onyx without indices just cant find one so im building | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Absolutely depends on what you’re building and your price point like I said | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
yeah for a 650 dial i rather spend like 4k more and get a complete gen vintage dj | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I mean sure… lol 650 to 4k is quite the jump but if that’s your logic go for it | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
its more that it will most likely hold its value its not that vintage djs are crazy expensive watches | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Agree! Yeah most have held value pretty well 4.5-7k depending model and dial variation. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
anyway what 3135 clone do you recommend for the raffles build | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

Line the link up with the sides and squeeze them so it slides back into place. Unless you broke the springs on the pin, you'll need new pins | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |

Take the spring bar out. Squeeze the ends on a hard surface gently and see if both ends move in and out freely. If one of them is stuck, you might need a new spring bar.
