Size of the 2821 is

11 1/2'''

1.50 x 0,90, same size as 2824-2

thanks!

I assume same stem height and BPM?

I go to Ranfft too, but this time I did not manage to find any info related to ETA 2821-1

Helloy guys,

I bought off ebay a watch (rather cheap) with a very nice no date ETA 2821-2. I had never heard of this movement before. In my opinion it might be a nice replacement for a 2846 as there is no modifications to make in order to remove the date. However I have fnot found much info regarding its measurements (stem height). Thus, it might not be a direct swap:

Do you have any info?

Thanks

Thanks JMB,

This is also what I have been doing. If this method is no big deal for non date sub, for date subs it is different, I found it tricky as the spacer can still rotate. Personaly I used a couple of dial dots on the side spacer and movement to prevent this from happening. This might not be option though

thanks guys,

However, I have already cut dial feet and used dial dots in my builds. IMHO this is not satisfactory enough. I had a Whoppy 1680 gen spec eta dial and it was an easy fit on the movement except alignement of DW.

Hi guys,

I searched extensively the fora with no luck. Prior to firing a couple of emails to the vietnamese dealers (Minh, Ruby...), I am wondering whether they offer ETA foot dials more particularly for date subs. Yuki has got some but there is an issue with the DW that is not well located.

Thanks for helping!

Ok thanks,

i have searching for a dw case but it seems to be as rare as hens teeth

At 40 bucks I was wondering whether this could possibly be a good deal with some modding afterwards.

Hi guys,

first off happy new year.

i stumbled across this case:

what is your opinion regarding using it for a vintage daytona project?

cheers,

What a amazing build.

Hi guys,

I am looking for 585 end pieces for my dw 7032. I am leaning towards the wso ones as gen ones are way too expensive. Are those clones of wso 580's or are the thicker thicker the gen 580's?

thanks

 Great !

a Guinea pig; good luck

Hello guys,

is DW back,? In my opinion it is a scam...

By using google and appropriate words you,still have access to everything.

What about 585 end links?

Here they are

Hello folks,

I do have trouble wrapping my head around : what end link for a dw 7032 case?

I have searched extensively but so far I have not figure it out.

I tried rep 501, gen 580, rep 455 and 380 and none of them fit correctly. There is too much of the case visible in between the lugs (roughly half is not covered).

any other decent options?

 I have been thinking of 589 or 605 (is there any rep alternative to those end links?) but they do not seem to fit.

what about  585 or 358?

thanks for helping!

So far I haven't had any problems and have even had two packages of parts opened and inspected by US Customs.  One was a batch of cases and another a batch of clone 2824 movements - seems they don't appear to care much about parts.

The biggest issue is on the way back

Hi

did you have to trim the inner ring or did it fit effortlessly?

I bought a sk crystal and I think I will have to.trim both the ring and the crystal to make it fit the case.

I would be in too for engravings available within EU. I am reluctant to mail overseas owing to customs issues.

Hello, 

i bought a crystal off clarks and it is really disappointing compared to a gen one. Surface is greasy and fingerprints are too visible.

Hi guys,

I am looking for a ST 16610 crystal; has anybody a st account to help me out?

cheers,

I had the opportunity to buy one of his last case but did not complete deal: i regret now
