Just received a 196 dial from Mary at watchinternational. It fits the ETA 7753 movement perfectly and has a correctly placed date window. I also bought hands at the same time. Mary can also supply the rest of the case etc. Shipping was quick, service and communication were excellent. It was my best parts buying experience to date.

I have been looking for a dial, hands and case for the 250 or the 196 to fit a 7753 as well without much luck so far. I have many sets of hands that don't fit and a number of dials. All have the date window in the wrong place as they were designed to fit the A7750 and not the genuine eta 7753. The hands have different diameter post holes and so I can only get ones to fit the hour and minute large hands. The case was not too much of a problem, where did you get yours? I needed to modify mine for the 10 o'clock pusher. I filed the movement surrounding spacer and added a small piece of tube to fit over the existing pusher which was too short. My research leads me to believe that most of the "swiss" 250's and 196's must atually be clone movements as most of the parts I have found will only fit the "copy" movements. If you manage to find the rest please post it here!
