ceejay Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Not without modification and at that price it is a rip off. Go to Cousins.co.uk and search UT649723024 Search the forum for 'incabloc mod' you will see these pices are not a direct swap but it can be done of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I bought a couple old pocket watches at the local flea market with the UT/Eta 6497 for less than $20US each so keep an eye out for old pocket watches for 6497 parts. One was a swiss made Elgin and the other was a Baylor. Thousands of pocket watches with the UT 6497 were made in the 1960s and 1970s and I suspect quite a few made it to the UK. They are not very popular today and the prices tend to be low. Asking $75 for the shock assembly is $50 or $60 too much imho. As for the A6497...I bought a new A6497 powered wristwatch for $99 a while back to get a movement for a project so a complete A6497 must not be very expensive.
