GhostfaceZX Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I'm in need of this part...both GMT and hour hands don't work without it. Since this is a modified 2836-2, are the parts still available, and if so, where would be the best place to purchase from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I have a full parts list for the 2836-2 but you will need to be more specific as there are a couple of parts that it could be. Is this an ETA part or is it a piece that is made by the Chinese rep factories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted 80 teeth on the gear, and it measures about 7mm in diameter. Here are pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbj69 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 thats the modified gear actually, why dont u just spot weld it or use a miniature solder and solder teh tube back in place , from the bottom and then sand it down, there r also some strong airplane ahesives like metalset A4 that may hold it , hope this helps, u may could get one from a dealer, but i bet he will be slow about it or doesnt want to worry with it unless u go tot the dealer u got it from he should help u at a very low price, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using some krazy glue to glue it back, but when I was cleaning off the excess, it just came apart again, and now I've got glue inside the shaft and it won't fit back over the minute shaft, so I'm thinking it would just be best to get a new part. I actually don't care about the watch anymore - it's a writeoff to me. I'm just interested in seeing if I can get it working again on my own. I've already mucked up the 12:00 date changeover gearset and scratched the dial with a generic presto hand remover. Even if I get it working again, I really doubt it would see much wrist time - It doesn't feel comfortable to me at all with all the sharp edges on the bracelet and case. I'm more looking forward to the Asian SMP GMT I ordered. It's really funny to see now - I have an Exp 2 with a scratched dial that can only tell minutes and seconds. Maybe I can sell it as a 60 minute stopwatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
