Hello,
I have a genuine ETA 2824-2 that I both a couple of months ago.
Would like to disable the manual/hand wind function because that ETA is going to be placed in a case that has a screw down crown.
I had tested it before in the case but as I try to screw the crown the manual wind starts winding the mainspring that is already automatically winded and the crown gets pretty "stiff", not letting me screw it fully.
After 1 day or so not wearing the watch, after the mainspring has lost a bit of energy, the crown moves free and can be screwed fully to the tube of the case.
My stem is fitted correctly with the right length.
Would like to ask what lever/part should be removed from the keyless works so the manual wind is disabled, but the seconds hack is still present?
Thank you in advance
