With all this spare time just now I've decided to get on with my project of replacing the movement in my Seiko Monster gen 1 with the NH36. I purchased a new movement from Crystaltimes a while ago. The first job was to replace the white day/date wheels with the black version. I have replaced day wheels before on this movement but this was the first time I had done the date wheel which is slightly more involved due to having to unscrew a plate that holds it in. I have read many tutorials about this so was able to complete the task without too much stress! One thing I did find was that all the tutorials said that one of the screws that hold the date wheel holding plate on, has a Philips type head. Where as the others are slot head. On this particular movement I found that all the screws were slot head. This made things easier. Though I was slightly peeved as I had bought several different sized Philips heads for the job! Oh, well, I'm sure they'll come in handy in the future. So far, so good. The next job is to set the hands. Not my favorite task!

I should have taken more pics but I forget to do so when concentrating.
