dovo1695 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has come across a good source for replacement movements for the 42mm PO. I've been wearing mine non-stop since I purchased it last April and it has started acting up. I've read that the DG2813 movements from Cousin's won't work because the stock movement has a recessed cannon pin. I've read that Ajoe has some movements that will work, but he's only one man. There must be hundreds of us who bought a Narikaa PO who would like to have a backup movement or 2. In my case, I love this watch so much I might just buy 3!

ETA 2789 on mine but with a diferent dial. You will have to check out the stem/movement face distance (too small on the 2824). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovo1695 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks Luso! I'll keep an eye out for an ETA 2789 at a reasonable price. By way of further update, I have partially figured out what was going wrong with my watch. I think I was screwing the crown in too tight after setting the time. The primary symptom was that the watch was keeping terrible time (hours lost per day). On occasion, when I would look down at the watch I would see that it had stopped altogether. I noticed that when I would unscrew the crown to reset it, the watch would start again. I wasn't sure if the watch was stopping and starting intermittently at random or if my unscrewing the crown was causing the watch to restart. I experimented a bit, and found that unscrewing the crown invariably restarted the watch. When I reset it the last time, I screwed the crown 1 half turn from being fully screwed in. My watch has been keeping perfect time ever since (2 days)! Is this just a crackpot theory or is there a reason that fully screwing down the crown (hand-tight) would cause the watch to stop?
