Make the tabs slightly longer. That will stop any movement

Just buy the gen disc. I know it's a lot more money, but you'll be glad you did.

Not good enough picture to say 100%, but I think gen

It's a clone of either the 2836-2 or 2824-2 Good movements

2834 is much preferred The fact that the day wheel is over the date wheel allows more room than the 2836 for the dwo. The 2 movements are exactly the same but for a taller cannon pinion than the 2836. Better hand stack. I always use them when I can find them.

automatico is correct. Not the one you have circled! Be sure the stem is pulled all the way out first.

I don't know what you're saying. The bezel is 2.33mm and the crystal gasket is 2.5mm

You can actually put it together with no ring. Once the dial and movement are together you can mount it with just the tabs. You may have to trim the tabs to fit, but that's all you will need. The case has a groove for the dial and once the dial is in that grove, it will not move. The tabs hold it securely in place. Try it, it works really good.

No kidding Sogeha!! rip

Sometimes all the post can be a tad larger on the gen hands. I've run into that several times

If you are talking about a gen case, the 2824-2 is the one to use. The 2836 will be to low in the case tube.

I think ssteel is in the UK. Most people don't know that their local jeweler probably has someone that does watch repair. Most of them do more than just change batteries. It's a good chance they do mechanical repair also. You may want to look around. Good luck

You will need something to support the back when you press the crystal down. That should be all you need. Be sure the retainer is correct size or you could crack the crystal. Good luck

If you think it's to much, then it's to much. You don't buy to sell for a profit, you buy because it's what you want. You will probably loose money, but why care if it's what you want. Enjoy it!

You are correct about the development of a dual time zone watch. The reason was simple. The pilots did not want to take the time to calculate Greenwich mean time to the time zone they were in. Mostly, they didn't want to be responsible for calculating it incorrectly. LOL

I think you"re correct. 41mm

yes, 580

This is just my opinion on the service of the 2 movements. The reason I give for not servicing the Asian movement is because of the quality of the parts. You can buy a brand new Asian 2836-2 or 2824-2 for around $100. A new swiss is around $220. The main difference I see between the asian and swiss is the metal used. The quality of the metal used in the swiss is much better than the Asian. When I loop the asian parts I can see that the quality and finish of the parts is much less than those in the swiss movement. Things like the mainspring and tub, the gears in the train, the date corrector wheel, the hairspring, the yoke, the yoke corrector and so on. While you can certainly service the asian movement, by the time you get all the parts installed and put back together, you're approaching the cost of a movement. You certainly want to replace all the gears in the train, those cost around $20. The mainspring, depending on the age of the movement could be very weak, again because of the metal used to mfg. The mainspring assy is around $20. So now, if you put all those parts in, you're almost at the cost of a new movement, including the labor. I don't think I've ever seen a third wheel and pinion break on a swiss, but I've seen several on an asian. The quality of the metal used throughout the swiss movement provides years of trouble free service. While the asian movements of late have been greatly improved, and really perform well, they are still not on the quality level of the swiss. For the money, asian is still a great buy. However, if you have a major problem with it, just replace it. You'll be glad you did. That's my take on it.

If you have a dremel, just grind the part sticking out with your disc. Then either polish or satin finish the outside of the link.

I can't really answer if they are the same in the jf and the noob, I just don't know. ssteel, the sa I was working on last week looked different than the sa 3135 in my yachtmaster. I bought that watch about 5 or 6 years ago. By the way, it still keeps perfect time and works flawlessly. So i can't say for sure if it is v1 or v2. Is there anyway to tell by just looking? My supplier in hong kong said there are 2 factories that produce the 3135. No more info than that. Oddly enough I think they are same ones that make the asian version of the 7750 with seconds at 6. They seem identical except the post on the sweep second on one of them is slightly smaller than the other. I've had one of his out for about a year now, still working great. But now it seems we are getting way off the op's post. Good luck

Wow. I have had the yuki and the sa side by side last week. While they look very much the same, nothing will interchange. I had a bad winding pinon on the yuki and thought I would pull the one from the sa to see if it would fit. By the way, the sa is a parts movement. The winding pinon was not even close to the one on the yuki. Niether was the clutch. I had the rotor assy off the sa and tried it on the yuki, again not even close to fitting. The calendar wheel was very close to fitting, but did not work right. The stop lever did fit both movements. The bal assy from the yuki looks almost identical as the sa, but will not interchange either. The repair I did on the yuki was with 3135 parts from star time. New winding pinion for the gen 3135, new winding wheel, and new clutch. They all fit the yuki and made a nice fix. Work very smooth. Also, the gen 3135 date wheel fits the yuki and works exactly like it should. While the sa and yuki look almost the same side by side, my experience is nothing about them is the same. That's my 2 cents.

If you do it that way, be sure and reset the set lever to full out position before you install the new stem. If you don't you have a good chance of bending the yoke and or yoke corrector.

Well, a new computer fixed everything. Thanks for all the advice.
