shultz Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I am planning to mod two Omega reps with genuine parts: 300M Diver and a Bond both with ETA 2824/ 2836. I found the dials I need at Ofrei's. Is the swap easy or must the feed position be changed? What's about the date window? Will it match the ETA? Thanks for your help.

ubiquitous Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 If you're swapping a dial meant for an Omega 1120/2500, etc (ETA 2892), then the dial feet are in the same position as the 2824/2836. However, one thing you should be aware of is that the gen dials have shorter feet, as the 2892 is a much thinner movement than the 2824/2836. Hence, the dial feet may or may not catch on the dial feet clips. Otherwise, it's a straight swap. Date window, etc are all in the same location. Old- Rep dial/datewheel on an ETA 2824: New- Gen dial and 2892 datewheel on the same movement: Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbig Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 But what about a dial in UPO 45 mm, Can I fit a gen dial too? And gen hands it's no problem to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Correct indeed. ETA 2824/2836/2846/2892 all have the same pinion sizes- 90/150/25. Since the 2500 is based on the 2892, gen hands fit any of these movements, no problem: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
