According to the review, it is unique to this watch.  The 2836 is a DAY/date movement.  The take the DAY wheel gear and re-gear it so that it make a complete turn every 24 hours rather than every seven days......face4.gif

Yeah but why? Just because you can? Don't get me wrong... I like me a 2836 as much as the next guy...

Who performs the modification and where is it done?

 

I think it's an enigma that's wrapped in a puzzle that remains a mystery! thankyou.gif
