preacher62 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Is the the GMT pinion on the GMT-modified ETA 2836-2 the same size as the GMT pinion on the ETA 2893? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 No. The GMT pinion on the ETA 2893-2 is 1.7mm, the same as the genuine Rolex. The ETA/Asian 2836/2846 that are modified to GMT most often use a 2.0mm pinion, though I have seen up to 2.2mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 No. The GMT pinion on the ETA 2893-2 is 1.7mm, the same as the genuine Rolex. The ETA/Asian 2836/2846 that are modified to GMT most often use a 2.0mm pinion, though I have seen up to 2.2mm so the genuine GMT hand will fit an ETA 2893-2 correct, the only problem I see even using an H5 tall wheel is that the hand is still to close to the dial.

sneed12 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, a gen GMT hand for a 1675 will fit a 2893. But none of the other hands will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks! I have a project going, with Trevor's 1675, and saw a GMT hand (with small arrowhead) for the 2893 on the Bay. That would have been cool, for $24.95. If you have a 2893 there are some available and they look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 That is the new hand that Rafflestime just introduced. http://www.rwg.cc/topic/148138-small-gmt-hand-for-rolex-6542-and-early-1675/page__hl__rafflestime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
