Glad to hear you’re doing better Stephane. Alcohol is a killer. Though I really have never had a problem with it, as I got older I really couldn’t stand the hangovers which always resulted in a very unproductive next day. Now I drink very rarely, which fits in with my new healthy lifestyle. I’ve lost about 25% of the body weight that I had 10 years ago and I feel great. Lifting weights every day and eating healthy has made me a different man.

Totally agree !!!!!! In my opinion the 2783 was the best module of the mechanical watch world outside the inhouse brand watches prior the the quartz invasion. They were robust well designed ( incabloc setting) and easy to work with unlike the later generation higher beat 2824-2 where they are a pain in the A$5 to work on during a service!!! Most newer 2824 are a pain with their novodiac cap jewel spring flying off if you are not super careful , near impossible to replace the balance wheel without high risk damage the hair spring and their flimsy keyless works developing easy stretch. As mentioned in a reply above here, they are also many clones and you do not know what you are buying when sourcing wrecks for parts. Genuine parts availability are very expensive hens teeth!!!! You cannot go wrong with a 27XX series as they were also found in the Tudor snowflake submariner fetching high premiums if I am not mistaken. Let me add that a 2782 and a 2784 will work equally well as their height and stem height positions are identical http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk&ETA_2783 http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk&ETA_2784 and http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&2&2uswk&ETA_2782 which will be an easier substitute to the Rolex 15XX series with the stem height position not needing as much fiddling around The 2824-2 may or may not work but in addition to the stem positioning, you will need to use the right spacers, make sure that the date wheel overlay will not drop down the hour and seconds pivot height etc. This Russian doll will cost you a lot of grief!!! 🙂
