1680 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Open the diameter of the hands, thats sometimes necessary to fit them. And you use a broach for that... Edited March 19, 2013 by 1680 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks for that 1680, learning more every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yes no problems have you did this upgrade with your wm9?? got pics ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 It is always a good dea to broach the hands so that you don't damage the stem, movement or hand set for any watch build...The TC dial and hand sets will fit the 2824-2 ETA movements as is; but it's always a good idea to broach hands so no damge is done to the movement and hands....

SSTEEL Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) So let me get this straight so I'm on the same page re broaching the hands. Is this another term for putting the watch in hacking position, crown pulled? Sorry for the questions, I'm keen to learn, and it's the first time I have seen/heard the term Broaching the hands mentioned.

Ephry73 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 With the TC hands I have not encountered any issues. No need for broaching on my end. I don't have any pictures on the phone, but if you go through my posts you'll see the hands on the TC 2824-3 with great gen like height.

Ephry73 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 @Eric,<br /><br />BTW, currently I don't have a wm9. Although a TC V5 can be considered an upgraded WM9, it's not. The sub you're seeing in my posts is a different case supplier, with gen dial an hands on a y3135 serviced movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 @SSTEEL: no not really. You press the hands onto the pivot/stem of the second gear or the pinion of the minute / hour wheel. If you can't press the hands down, you probably need to enlarge the diameter of the hole (of the hands) but just a fraction of a millimetre. A drill bit would be to imprecise, so you use a broach. If you forced the hands onto the pinions chances are you damage something (pivots, jewel). Hope this helps (no, I'm no watchsmith) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erict719 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Is it true that wm9 v3 takes gen movement also like the tc? I read it somewhere today .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 And noob question .. do I need to take out the stem to change the crown?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I need some advice. To remove the stem from 2824-2 Does anyone have picture for which button to push to release it. Also, which winding position should the crown be ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Close to the position where the stem goes into the movement is a small notch with a 'button'. You have the press this down carefully (if you press to hard you could [censored] the keyless). And the movement should be in hack/time setting position.

What ? No It is not a good idea to broach the hands unless you are trying to make a hand set that is too small fit that us the ONLY reason to broch any thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Does anyone have instruction or picture to help me remove the dial and hands.. I am a total newbie. could I just pull the dial off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Does anyone have instruction or picture to help me remove the dial and hands.. I am a total newbie. could I just pull the dial off ? Your willingness to post up on removing hands and dials is commendable. However....I'm not sure I'd use a WM9, TC or any other high quality rep to practice and learn on. As for the WM9 v3 accepting a gen 3135...I believe I've read somewhere that it will but don't quote me on that. I've never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, that doesn't make any sense at all. Hands have holes that are manufactured to within thousands of an inch, and they're designed to be friction-fit. If you broach hands that are designed for an ETA 28xx movement, they won't fit an ETA 28xx movement any more--they'll be too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
