horzs Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 im thinking DG3804B il see who has them in stock i think ofrei and startime do them need to check tho unless you can point me to a better source (i have enough eta movements needing work and serviced )lol Looks like CousinsUK have them as well. Reference CH3804M for one with gold plates (£22.95) and CH3804BM for the silver-coloured one (£20.25). Prices ex. vat

JoeyB Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 i have ordered 10 gold and 10 silver from cousins always get hammered from customs when i order in from ofrei 20 movements?
archierocks Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Posted September 7, 2012 yea 20 movements not all for me lol
mymanmatt Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 All 2836-2834-2832-2873-2846 etc use the same size hands. Perhaps the tower on one of your pinons is to tall or to short. The hand stack should be, hour hand, 24 hour hand, minute hand, sweep second. All of those movements use the day wheel portion of the movement to set the 24 hour hand. They simply remove the set triper for the day wheel, and replace it with a toothed wheel which controls the gear on the 24 hour hand. Very simple conversion. Ck all post heights on you movement to make sure they are correct. 24 hour gear on top of the hour gear, small space above that for your minute hand, then install your sweep second. You can do it, just be patient and ck everything before you start.
sneed12 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 The hand stack should be, hour hand, 24 hour hand, minute hand, sweep second Not for a 1675.
mymanmatt Posted September 7, 2012 Report Posted September 7, 2012 correct, sometimes, depending on mfg, it will be 24hr, hour, min, and sweep second

The hand stack for ALL ETA GMT movements, Chinese converted or the top ETA2893-2 is the GMT 4th hand on the bottom, then the hour hand, then the minute hand and then the second hand.

archierocks Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 id rather have a 6542 but right now cant afford a gen and there's no decent reps out and building one would just be a nightmare for me. (waits for all the past builds and franklin to appear in the thread to add to my rage and jealousy.)
archierocks Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 So the dg movements arrived today gmt hand does fit on a bit better but now the min hand wont fit guess i was thinking the yuki set would have fit lol. honest im just a decent set of fitting hands and a jubilee bracelet once its built im gonna smash it with a bloody hammer

archierocks Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 im actually laughing now ZK this will be the longest 1675 build ever in history and shortest lived lol
preacher62 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 im actually laughing now ZK this will be the longest 1675 build ever in history and shortest lived lol I'm really feeling your pain...I just finished this one and everything fit on the 2846. All works well. I have a proper date wheel overlay coming...
archierocks Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 i am scared to think what will go wrong next the crown and stem maybe since im using a gen crown or maybe the dwo will crumble or il spill glue in the movement lol
JoeyB Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 The DG movement takes different size hour, minute and second hands than the ETA or genuine Rolex. I'd bet Yuki's would not fit, I don't believe he has any for the Chinese movements. I thinkl RafflesTime is the best bet.
archierocks Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 yea i have 2 sets already on there way from raffles my review and story of this build will be about 90 pages long .
JoeyB Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 I'll make certain to look at it and say, "Oh, another 1675. Nice..." Lol!
