bkucera Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Got mine in today from Mary, thought I'd put a few pictures up, as well as a video of the ETA 2824 movement since I hadn't seen one around. I guess I can't put a link to the video yet, if someone wants to post it for me let me know. I really like the way it looks so I'm happy with it overall. Not sure yet how well it keeps time, we'll see in a few days. I wound it by turning the crown in first position towards 12 o'clock, hope that was ok to do. When I had the band sized, the jeweler discovered that one of the pins was very loose in its sleeve. The pins in general seem to have a bit of variation in their diameter. He swapped the sleeve from a removed link and that was fine. He also pointed out that the link adjacent to the 12 o'oclock lug link had a tendency to separate. Not sure if that will actually be a problem when I'm wearing it, but it's not a replaceable link. The opposite link doesn't have that problem so it seems like a manufacturing defect. One question -- if I decide to put a gen bezel on, will it line up the same way this one does? Meaning, is the indexing determined by the case which I wouldn't be replacing?

Wayward Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 One question -- if I decide to put a gen bezel on, will it line up the same way this one does? Meaning, is the indexing determined by the case which I wouldn't be replacing? I've modded a few of the 5th gens now and can advise that the gen bezel fits perfectly but you have to use the retaining spring from the rep bezel as it wont rotate if the gen spring is used.

bkucera Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've modded a few of the 5th gens now and can advise that the gen bezel fits perfectly but you have to use the retaining spring from the rep bezel as it wont rotate if the gen spring is used. I know it fits, but right now the pearl isn't perfectly centered left-to-right over the 12 on the dial. What I'm wondering is, if I put a gen bezel on there, would the pearl on that be aligned the same way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 move the insert. rotate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermanx Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Might is slightly misaligned as well, just need to heat it, then reglue it in the correct position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
