Hi there, 

Hopefully you or someone can help me out.

I've bought a un33 Perpetual calendar last month in the US and when I got back home (Netherlands) unfortunately I found out that the calendar is crooked and isn't synced with the days of the month. (I'm aware on the quick set that's a work around for now not the awnser) 

Is there a repair guide or some kind of blueprint on the gear setup that I can give a watch maker? Or does anyone know where to bring it within The Netherlands? 

I've made a complete year analysis on the date chances. I can share it when you're able to help me. 

Thanks in advance! 

Kind regards 

Sven

Based on your second question I understand that you need first locate a good watchmaker. Do not worry about him being located in your country, with reliable postal service you can send it elsewhere. A name that comes to mind, has published prices, watchguy.co.uk, there was at least another one in the UL with good Internet presence but I forgot the name, I'm sure somebody can help in there.


Do not worry about locating technical guides etc, these guys beside being Masters can navigate and obtain info. The issue may be obtaining restricted parts, but no point in worrying about that now.

Hi jdm, 

Thank you so much for your quick reply. 

Unfortunately I've some bad experience with sending out costly things through the postal service and would love to find out if there's any qualified watchmaker in the Netherlands before having sleepless nights. 

I've did several enquiries and they told me that they needed technical guides on the gear stack setup. 

Thanks again! 

Regards

Sven

Understand that but just for you reference in the last 5 yerars I have received and shipped more than 300 items, in Europe and worldwide without any issue.

That means they never worked on a such piece and aren't resourceful enough  or willing to procure the information themselves, that is a good reason to avoid them. If you are not in the need of saving money I would inquiry the manufactere or official service center about this repair.

Thank you for your reply and tips.

I know that there's always an opportunity for sending it out to the manufacturer, I really would love to see if there's a option to have it done in the Netherlands.

    • The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools
    • I don't think I need to know more about the question now, so please don't write anything related to the topic. Thank you to everyone who wrote. Have a nice day.
    • It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.
    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
