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 ...

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.

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.

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
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

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.

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.

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?

Speaking for myself (other watchmakers may differ), when it comes to modding I ask customers to source all the parts themselves.

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

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!!

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 ...

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.
