You'll know when the time is right.

dd,

I don't know if this will help, but Aerostich sells a couple of adhesive-backed clocks that you might be able to mount directly over the stock one and nobody but you would be the wiser. It is my understanding that the factory clock is the single most expensive instument in the cluster to replace.

No help for you, but I have also noticed that mine is very accurate.

You might try to give http://www.beemerboneyard.com a try.
They have a decent selection of salvage parts at fair prices.

Mine runs a little fast, so I'm usually on time. Usually by daylight savings time adjustment, I'm off by about 10~15 minutes. I can handle that; the GPS, I-Pod, and satellite radio usually keep me pretty accurate.

Mine is also very accurate and only needs adjusting for the daylight saving changes in the UK.
Second hand/pre-used probably the best option.
Think fixing screws are under the bottom cap.

The best option is to take it off and give it to a watchmaker although
you will have to find one.

the only thing that holds the clock in is the "chrome" washer nut. when you take that off, use a screw driver to literally pop it out of the instrument cluser. the bad news is, when you do this, the time adjustment rod is going to be taken out as well, so you will need to resync that when you put it in (meaning you have to put the female end into the male end of the clock.

WARNING WARNING WARNING

when you go to put the clock back in, do not overtighten the chrome cap, washer nut thingy. It will break right off, then you have to spend some time trying to get the bloody thing out of the clock female end (it was a bitch). I used an O ring in the space between the clock and the mount, and also used some blue 242 locker (loc tite) to secure all three chrome washers (the chrome washers cost 18.00 a piece). Another thing for the space between the washer and the assembly you could use would be a hose washer spacer, it works well in this case as well.

Happy Riding
