pwygant Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Greetings, I received a new watch the other day with a 2824-2 movement. Forgive me if I don't know the correct terminolgy for this but when I unscrew the crown, this time it doesn't have the normal "spring" type of jump out. The watch works pefect and I don't think anything is wrong but all my other ETA movements has this "springy" type of motion when I unscrew the crown and then you have to put slight pressure on it to screw it back on. Ideas; Is it just missing some type of unneeded part? //Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 it should be able to pull out one click to move date and next click is to set time , then push back in and be able to self wind if u like, then push in slightly and screw it in to close it, some stems may be cut closer than others which would cause u to have to push it in further to screw it down,hope this helps joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The watch works perfectly fine. Unscrew [winds] 1st click [date] and second click [time]. Are you just saying that the stem is probably a little bit too short but it won't make any real difference to the movement? What I mean is that this is probably not a defect, correct? //Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple of crowns show up with weak or broken springs. If it's a Poley, I usually just swap to a genuine anyways which fixes the problem.
