ck5533 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I bought a DWO V2 from TC some time ago and only decided to start my project recently. Found out the internal opening is too small for ETA2824. Is anyone has a similar problem or it is just me? Down to the photos for more details. It this a quick fix issue or TC has sent me a wrong one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 It's normal but you're better off using an ETA 2836-2 date wheel on your 2824-2 so the overlay doesn't rub on the movement. Otherwise, be careful with the installation and double check before you put it all together and make sure it turns freely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 That's sort of the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 The eta 2836 date wheel will not work on a eta 2824 they have two different date flipper setups. The date wheels will not be interchangable with each other, but you can remove the overlay and use that on the other movts date wheel. When it comes to the over lay you need to center it on the original date wheel. Check this out: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/86779-the-birth-of-a-franken-pt-i/?hl=+franken Unless I'm mistaken the 2834-2 and 2836-2 are identical raised date wheels. According to ETA documents they are the same parts number, 2557/1, CS # 91.440.22 Now, since I have the ETA 2824-2 in that exact watch shown above with a 2834-2 date wheel installed, I would have to say it works.

sneed12 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 i did try many times, but it won't fit. It's way too small.... It is not too small. That is the size that it is supposed to be. anyone has a pics/tuts to show....PLEASE There are literally hundreds of pictures of datewheel overlays installed on movements in this section... look at pretty much any of my build threads, or anyone else's.

preacher62 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) This is just the way it is supposed to look. It is an overlay to correct the Rolex/ETA date position. If it were the same size as the date wheel it would not work. Edited June 5, 2013 by preacher62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Glue it on top of the other datewheel. It's not a replacement datewheel, it's an overlay. As in it lays over the top of the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
