ryaku Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi all, i disassembled a watch with a 2892. Movement, probabily seagull, has date wheel not working as watch hadn't date window. Now i wish to use this movement with another dial with date window. Can i make it works? Is it an easy fix? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you All you have to do is obtain a datewheel, assuming the movement doesn't already have one fitted and it was simply obscured by the dial. A datewheel to fit a ETA2824 or 2892 movement will fit and work perfectly. 2836 datewheel will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume it's been disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried operating the time adjustment past 12 midnight with the dial off? There should be a mechanism that engages with the teeth on the inside of the date ring clearly visible clicking on to advance the date. The mechanism should have a single 'tooth' and be up at the 11 o'clock position. It is mounted on to a larger toothed wheel and sits on it off-centre. If this is missing then that is your problem. Parts should be available and AFAIK are also interchangeable between 2824 and 2892 so you might be able to cannibalise a (cheaper) 2824.
