turnipz Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 Hey guys I need some help with a tudor snowflake I am making. I am using joshs 5512 case, a tudor 9411 dial/hands, I have a 2784 with date for the movement, and am looking at getting a genuine crown/tube. The problems I have are getting the 2784 movement out, I was wondering if theres a spring setting lever I need to unscrew before I push the pusher in and take the crown out. Also what crown I can buy to fit the case, I have been told its relatively easy to install once I have them but I need to know which one to get before I can even attempt to install. here is joshs case I have so far.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 yes, follow the crown stem youll see a tiny button on the movement plate, use a 1.20mm driver ONLY to slide into the slot and depress it or you are sure to bend the pin. i really hope Josh remakes this case and addresses the stubby CG issue, its too glaring.
turnipz Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 Oh nice, thanks for the fast reply. I am at my gfs house at the moment but I remember there being 2 screws at the end of the crown, I'll post pics of the movement in a few days once I'm at home. I shoulda probably thought to do that before making a post.
turnipz Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 Okay my crappy camera doesn't seem to be able to focus on the movement without being a blurry mess, though it does look exactly like this one I found online. Is the red circle the screw I need to loosen 1-1.5 turns? Also what constitutes a turn of a screw driver, is it 360 degrees?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 see the little NON screw circle, which is actually a button... up and to the right of the screw your circled. you push that in with a 1.20mm screwdriver ONLY found this via google in 3 seconds "Sample of case clamps of an ETA Caliber 2836-2 inside a Titoni Cosmo King Day-Date. Note, the watch has also a white spacer ring. In addition you will see the pusher location for releasing the stem (small circle next to upper case clamp). The lower case clamp is covered by the rotor. You will have to move the rotor away to unscrew it."
turnipz Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Oh sorry I was misinformed, I was under the impression ontop of pushing the button there was a screw that had to be unscrewed. As seen by number 3 in this article I found: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WatchSchool/WS%2011%20How%20to%20remove%20and%20replace%20a%20watch%20movement/WS%2011%20How%20to%20remove%20and%20replace%20a%20movt.htm If its just the little button this will be a lot easier than I thought, thanks for helping a newb out. Hopefully I never have to take a movement apart. Edited June 11, 2011 by turnipz
turnipz Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 Okay now my problem is the 2784 movement is not accepting josh's crown. It still accepts the movements original crown, do I need a different one?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 well thats strange. are they both eta movements? or is josh an asian 21j?
turnipz Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Oh ya, the joshs I got was his 99$ one. Damnit so thats the problem, I guess I have to buy a new crown then. Can anyone point me to ones that would work for this, would any 7mm rolex crown I can find on ebay probably work? Edited June 12, 2011 by turnipz
turnipz Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 Nevermind I see how the movement stem/crown work now, I put joshs crown on the 2784 movements stem and stuffed it in. It however is too short I believe, as it runs in the time-set position but I cant push it in without screwing it in, and it stops running if I screw it in. Here it is so far: Also another question if anyone can help, my movement rolls around quite a bit how exactly is it secured to the case in a 2784? Can I make it a bit tighter?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 your stem needs adjusting, and possibly not correctly engaged in the keyless works the movment may not be screwed down correctly with the tabs incorrectly seated. is that yukis dial and hands?
turnipz Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 Ya it is a yuki dial/hands. I was thinking of getting a stem extender to make it a bit larger, do you think it has more problems than just the stem being too short?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 depends on how it was inserted, hard to tell with out actually seeing it
turnipz Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Posted June 13, 2011 Alright thanks for the help so far, I'll get an extender for now and work on it once it arrives. Do you happen to know what size of stem it takes, is it a 0.9mm one?
highoeyazmuhudee Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 the eta stem youre looking for is part # 401
nick1972 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 the eta stem youre looking for is part # 401 You have to find a 401 stem for a eta 2784, not all the 401 will fit your watch.
