Guest al12 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi guys, I bought a TC watch set, but the movement that came with it is ETA 2836-2. When I tried to install it in the TC watch case, the stem broke as the crown hole does not aligh. Since it's very hard to get hold of TC by e-mails is my only option is a new ETA 2824-2 movement? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Why has it been hard to get a hold of him? Weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest al12 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Maybe he is busy or on the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 "...it's very hard to get hold of TC by e-mails..." I sent him a note 8 or 10 days ago wanting to buy some stuff...no reply. Seems like this is the way it is in this 'hobby'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafoam Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 You could go with a Sea-Gull ST2130. More available and certainly a lot more cost effective. JM2C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Only way to know for sure is to try and fit one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 How about a nice 2892? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I would not worry too much. This happens a lot in our hobby ... some little one-man shop creates something special, and is promptly washed off the Earth by a flood of emails .. hundreds per week. Do you want these people answering all email, or working on their special watches? I think we all know the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klocklind1 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hight difference is 0,45 mm between 2824 and 2836 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidhle007 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 AL12, where did you get this watch set from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidhle007 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 And just for clarification, the TC watchset takes a 2824 and would probably take a 2892 without any issue whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredfree Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 2892 has a different stem height. IMO get a 2824 or a clone if you want to go cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 To use a 2892 in a case that is made for the 3135 all you need is the right spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 To avoid any issues, just source a 2824-2 movement and call it good. The stem height is minimal in difference when using a 2892, but just go with why works. You won't regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredfree Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 To use a 2892 in a case that is made for the 3135 all you need is the right spacer. TC case has a slightly lower crown than Gen, it will take both gen or 2892 but the proper one is the 24... so best go for a 24... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhOhOne Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) TC case has a slightly lower crown than Gen, it will take both gen or 2892 but the proper one is the 24... so best go for a 24... Really? The pics TC has posted on his blog seem to show the crown position as spot on to gen.

OhOhOne Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) It's a really subtle difference but it's there! I don't know, are we talking about the TC V4 case that he used in his 16610 (which now seems to be sold out)? Can anyone substantiate these allegations, one way or the other? I love my TC sub, so now I'm really curious. oo1 Edited September 11, 2012 by OhOhOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
