t Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 can i replace the eta 2824 in a watch with eta 2892 and also put the daywheel of eta 2824 to the eta 2892 or not??? yes all eta 28xx movements are similar. Only different thickness and quality eta 2892 is thinner and MUCH BETTER QUALITY... both movements in my story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I would be very surprised if you can exchange the 2892 datewheel for a 2824 or visa versa. For that matter, the 2892/3's have two different datewheels that are not interchangeable. The datewheel on the 2892-A2 (Soprad module for power reserve) will not fit on the 2893 and visa versa. You should be able to swap movements if talking about the PAM GMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 If you're thinking of doing this with FMs, I've already thought about it, checked it out and found out you can't swap the datewheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linder Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I fall into this question wanting to replace my 2836's with a smoother 2892A2 without loosing the date font accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDef Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 How about the hands. Are they interchangable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I fall into this question wanting to replace my 2836's with a smoother 2892A2 without loosing the date font accuracy. I have variouse gen, and rep 2892 based watches, and i must say, i have difficulty seeing any difference in sweep smoothness between 2836/24 and the 2892, if any. i dont think is worth it.

There is no difference - they beat the same. 2892 has a better quality rotor bearing and a slimmer design, but there ain't much else between them. Also the datewheels should be 100% intercheangeable between 2824 and 2892-A2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 The datewheel may be interchageable with one form of the 2892 but I know it isn't interchangeable with the other so you have to figure out which 2892/3 it is. The reason I know this is that the two different applications I have for PAM's (GMT and Power Reserve) use different datewheels. So I guess it will depend on which form of 2892/3.

t Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 what is eta 2892-3???? do you mean eta 2893-2 GMT movement??? yes GMT movemnt has different date wheel... little bit higher i have many date wheels for eta 2893-2 GMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 the 2892/3's have two different datewheels that are not interchangeable. The datewheel on the 2892-A2 (Soprad module for power reserve) will not fit on the 2893 and visa versa. Hi Warren, I am quite confused. Some time ago I had my watchsmith trying to put a Lello's 2893 datewheel on my 2892A2 and he said it was a complete misfit. Not just the well known line-up problems, but a major misfit that made the datewheel completely useless on the 2892A2. This would confirm what you said. Still, official ETA technique communications state both for 2892A2 and 2893 exactly the the 2557/1 (91.440) datewheel. So, do you have any other info, by chance? I am a bit concerned, as this issue is not trivial about using Finepic's forecoming 2893 datewheels on our 028A PAMs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
