I wonder where the date roulette wheel is - I see it in the watch but
absent in the parts container.

Sorry Big A but there are no usable parts whats so ever on this watch.

I bought another item from this seller yesterday and talked to him about this watch.

The date wheel is there but bent beyond repair and so are most parts in the bin.

If I ever was able to fix this watch I think my teachers would just make me skip the rest of my formation and send me to Rolex right away...

Comments like that do make me appreciate my job as TRF's official fuse expert...
