PeteM Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Would anybody be kind enough , if they know, if I would be able to swap a DW off a 4813 onto an ETA 2386? I have a rep B&R 03-01 running a 4813 movement. I really want to swap an ETA 2836 into it but wanted to know if I could swap the DWs over or rather off the 4813. The 2836 DW I have is a black over white whereas the 4813 has a white over black which is more correct for the model. I would rather not want to start taking it apart unless I am prepared. If not would I have an alternative movement to the 4813 to give me a less jerky movement to the secs hand similar to the 2836? Any advice would be appreciated or a suitable link, Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I can not say for certain, Pete, but the 2813 and 4813 are based on the Japanese Miyota series, not the Swiss ETA series .. so my semi-educated guess would be "no" ... I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 You can transfer the date wheel overlay (if there is one)... that's about the only thing you can transfer as everything else is different between those movements e.g. dial feet, hand sizes, stem, etc. Forget the transplant!

FxrAndy Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Unfortunatly, the hand sizes and dial feet ar different, so to swap a 4813 for an ets you will need new hansa and use dial dots to secure the dial, if the rep is using an date overlay then that is about the only part that is transferable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 ...and POSSIBLY the dial spacer to accomodate the overlay or is that specific to the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks guys I will stick with what I have got. I will swap the ETA 2836 I have into another watch I have running the Asian 2836. And will start again with a rep B&R running a 2892 and put the other ETA in that. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
