fidhle007 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Does your Sean dial fit the case? The one I got was the older one that was standard rep size and too big but I've heard he was going to be shipping properly sized ones soon...? What are you doing for hands and a movement ring for your 2892? ~Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I had the same question, and Sean told me: "The dial problem already fix for long time, the dial size is correct." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) The first dial Sean sent was too big. As soon as I told him he shipped out a second at no charge. I am using a custom stilty spacer with a gen date wheel (used as an overlay) with my 2892. Hands are BK SL eta hands for now, but I am going to have the cannon pinion machined and installing gen hands in the near future.

w.genzo Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) SA3135 build costs more or less as much as a 2892 one. pros: straight fit into the case, no need of spacer ring, no dw overlay and you don't have to cut the gen dial feet. And if you're lucky you receive one that accepts gen hands&dw. cons: reliability not tested yet, no spare parts if it breaks, very few watchmaker can service this mov. ETA 2892 is probably the best eta mov available, every wm can service and repair it. Edited February 22, 2012 by w.genzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidhle007 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 So in the last few days I've had trouble with my SA3135 hands falling off, mostly the minute hand. I was ready to flip out and sell it, send it back, something until I had an epiphany: Gen hands don't fit because they're too small. I tried them and THEY WORKED! It took a little more effort to get them seated then the original hands but this is supposed to be a tool watch, I want the hands to stay in place when I fall off of something I shouldn't have been climbing in the first place. The result: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result: so, are you saying you mounted gen hands with a bit of force? looks good, is this seans case or TCs?
