Jimster Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I'm in the process of changing over to a 2893-2 in my 063 & 029 except for one little problem: the hole size on the 24 hour hand isn't close. The hole is too big on the 2836 and too thin to pinch. I need to locate two 24 hands for the 2893-2 or a suggestion on how to fit the 2836-2 24 hour hand to the 2893-2. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peepshow Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yep, not much else to say on that one. I don't know of anyone besides DSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jim Besides the hands, does the 2893 fit the case? 2893 is a thinner movement vs 2836 with a diferent stem hight. You will have to use another spacer for the stem to correctly line up and probably higher pinions to leave enough clearance for the hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 the movement ring for 2836 will take 2893 as a direct swap. all you need is a new handstack from dsn like the others mentioned. $40 last time i checked. of course the run of the mill 63 gmt pam rep will need other mods like a new crown, new cyclops, new datewheel and a relume. best of luck.

Thanks for the tips. I've got pricing from DSN and ordered. In comparing hands the only one that doesn't fit from a 2836 is the GMT hand. The rest fit quite nicely.

Duffy33333 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi Jimster, just did, what you are going to do. Wanna post Pics in a few days, still had to wait for my t Crown...and some superglue... Regards Andr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimster Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I've got hands coming from DSN and now I'm waiting for Jakob to run 063 case backs. The movement rings are fine and the movement sits at the same height. What I'd really love to find is a Gen dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
