higginsd Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 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! BR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higginsd Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Mine is the version with faux PR, the stem for the PR is fixed to the dial I think. So possibly an ETA-2836 will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
