Elgin watch question

Hello everyone,

I've been reading the posts in this group and lurking for quite a while,
and I find it extremely fascinating. I also follow a lot of the links posted
here and I often dig into the web sites. Recently I acquired an older Elgin
wristwatch, caliber 328 (handwind, 17 jewel). The watch runs great and is in
good condition, but has a small problem. The date changes at 9 instead of
12. I am wondering what is required to correct it. I have no experience with
watch repair. I have acquired some basic knowledge (from reading) but
without the experience to go with it I'd be inclined to let someone else do
it, at this point. I'm just wondering what's involved, beyond taking the
movement out of the case, and removing the hands and dial (which is more
than I currently would feel comfortable doing, and more than I have the
tools for anyway).

Thanks,

Jody

    ... For many years now, I've been reading books and newspapers and when I think what that reading does for me and then think what I get out of newsgroups posts and reading newsgroup posts, here is my conclusion: i) I learn much more from my own reading of printed material than from reading newsgroup posts, and ii) reading which stimulates me to respond to posts is mostly entertaining to me and slightly educational. ... on how damned good globalization is for the USA [but let's not acknowledge that its even better for India] and more recently involving with a wide diversity of ideas of his that I think are mostly bunk) have stimulated me ...
