redwatch Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've been trying to figure out what kind of movement this one is. I am guessing the odd date wheel assembly should be a big hint, but I just cannot figure out what this one is. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Looks Dg. Any shots of the balance wheel side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I checked it compared to the DG movements I could find pics of, but none of them had date wheels like this one does. The date wheel assembly came apart on me so I am trying to figure out how it works. Also looking for a possible replacement for it as well since I may have broken it. Any shots of the balance wheel side? Here you go: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 The adjuster stuff looks Dg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poker Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have a Datejust with a 2813 clone with a datewheel just like that. No markings though. The datewheel has a small notch that fits into the plate it rests on and is held in place with a small metal washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yep DG mate, you should be able to replace it with any other DG, never seen that DW set up my self though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have a few DGs like that. The O and W logo are a dead giveaway. I have a few "no longer complete"(read seconds pin broke off) If you'd like one for the date gears let me know. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks everyone! So it is a DG then huh? I searched for pics but none of the DG's I found had that kind of date wheel. Oh well, you learn something new everyday! I have a few DGs like that. The O and W logo are a dead giveaway. I have a few "no longer complete"(read seconds pin broke off) If you'd like one for the date gears let me know. I may take you up on that offer actually. The only other question is, do they make movement spacers for these? This was literally "glued" into the case with this nasty, hard white paste that looks like white out/liquid pen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Raffles-time has them. If you buy a new movement from him, the movement often comes with a dial spacer. I have some of those spacers with the feet cutouts. With the DG movements, the retainer screws for the feet also allow you to install the dial without fully seating in the dial to the movement.

Good to know.... however I was referring to the movement spacer, not the dial spacer. I need something to secure the movement into the case without resorting to that nasty paste stuff that was used by the original builder.

Ephry73 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 The ETA 2824 movement rings fit. Some filing for height may be required. Depending on the case I have used either the 2836 spacer or the 2824 and the diameter is all the same, the height is where the trick is. Ken has some as well and I think I have a few spares. PM me the inside diameter of the case and the dial rehaut and I see if I find something that matches. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
