ubiquitous Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Note the direction the datewheel rotates. Hmmmmmm. Arrived today in working order (though it needs to be serviced). Best $8.00 I've spent in a long while! Edited March 27, 2006 by ubiquitous
slickdick Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 nice, have you fiddled around a bit with it? i came to conclusion, when my new hands set arrived, the AS movement wont accept the ETA seconds hand, the hour, and minute are fine, the secondhand seems to have too large a tube to fit the pinion.

SD- The seconds hand for the ETA's are definitely too big. ETA 2836-2/2846/2824-2/2892 are all 90/150/25; The AS is 90/150/22. So, the seconds hand has to be reduced.

ubiquitous Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Posted March 27, 2006 One of these things is not like the other (but two of them will accept a genuine 1570/5 datewheel and beat at 21600bph).
ubiquitous Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Posted May 11, 2006 A few more pics to update this thread a bit...
Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 I HATE YOU!!!!! I need a silver datewheel! HUMPH!
leitztozeiss Posted May 11, 2006 Report Posted May 11, 2006 Hmmm. I see some differences, but what exactly do I need to buy/do to my WM 1665 to fix my date wheel? Do I need to do the same to my WM 1680? Do I need to source a different ETA movement that accepts the genuine date wheel? Thanks. Oh, ok. So, it should be silver background?
