ETA movement for IWC BP 5002

Hi all!

 

Any suggestions or any experiences here in fitting an ETA movement into a rep BP 5002? Which ETA movement will fit in the case? What else to change or to work on: the datewheel, the tube/crown? Is that an easy job or better contact a watchsmith? 

 

I like my 5002 very, very much but - the asian 25J is horrible! So I decided to invest some money - doesn't really matter how much - and make a nearly perfect watch from my 5002. It's so sad that a gen 5011 movement won't be realistic to get anywhere. And if so, I think the price will be extreme high!

There isn't an ETA movement with center seconds and a power reserve in the right spot.

 

Depending on stem height, you might be able to use a 2824, or 2836 with a modified datewheel overlay and some sort of mod to affix the PR hand. Am guessing you'd also need a custom movement ring.

 

Have you had someone service the movement? You might find you like it better once it's clean and lubricated properly.
