FxrAndy Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 No photos yet and price is unconfirmed but i am hoping for less then
FxrAndy Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Posted February 9, 2010 Well the details are brand new in ETA boxes, never been used or fitted, The down side is that i would have a minimum order of 50. By the time i have imported them, paid tax ect i think i can do them for less than
Hongkytonkman Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 i'm in.. you still need 47more people though
ahchard Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 would probably be easier if u could get a modder to offer to do a transplant project with the movement in a watch... then u would probably get them snapped up in no time...
FxrAndy Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Posted February 9, 2010 if the case or watch that you planned to put this in would accept 2893s then I would be able to do the movement swaps if that was what people wanted. The main measurement here would be the winding stem height between the movement coming out and the movement going in if both were of eta type meaning that the dial feet are in the right position and the hand sizes are the same.
mactower Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 If you could let me know which type of rep would most benefit from this movement (Rolex GMT, IWC, etc.) I may be in for 1 as well.
Toadtorrent Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 The GMT IIc will fit for sure...as Concepta had Corum 2893-2's fitted into his super Franken GMT's he has for sale.
redwatch Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Would that make for a correct hand stack & properly working GMT IIc? If so, I would be in for one
FxrAndy Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Posted February 9, 2010 I dont think it would resolve the hand stack issue but it would resolve an reliability issues, to up side if you have an incorrect hand stack version your hands will fit on the new movement. I think this movement would be correct in a lot of pams?????

FxrAndy Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Posted February 9, 2010 Well that is about 10 of the 50 i would need to order, but the response is looking good, I will see how it looks in a couple of days and see if Commander finance will go with the idea.
maxmilian Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 2836 based 029 and 63 etc could be potential victims, one will need new hands and datewheels though.... So not an straight swap but possible I might be intressted in one as well andy

I believe if memory serves me (hopefully somebody like Freddy333 can confirm this) that the handstack is actually correct for some older Rolex GMTs...but not for the more current ones....
FxrAndy Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 I am going to go ahead and get these, but i will be getting fewer than originally thought as i cant afford to have 10K in movements sat around the house. I will try to still keep with in my original price quote. Once i have them in my hands i will PM those that have shown an interest here, if there are any left then i will put them up to the market. Toadtorrent Dluddy Honkytonkman Ubi Redwatch? Aromatic Mctower DVN Dr Pubis McRea Siesta181 Maximilian Nacortheblue Any more add your name to the list and we will see how many i can afford to get. Just a pointer these are
Toadtorrent Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 Cool...keep me posted. Let me know if you need money now.
FxrAndy Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 I wont take any money until, i have them in my hands then i will know what import tax i have had to pay, and i know that i can supply. Shipping cost world wide with insurance to
