Hi,

Just a quick question about the movement holder used in the Helenarou 6538 case.

Should the back of the dial sit flush against the movement holder?

I have an ETA 2846 that I'm using for this case and it just doesn't want to sit down far enough in the holder that the dial back is flush. There's like a 2 mm gap so before I try to force it down or dremmel out a bit of the movement holder I thought I'd see if anyone else had the same issue.

Thanks,

Andy

Yes it should. Keeps the movement/dial secured to the case with the two tabs. I don't even see how you could get the tabs under the lip with a gap like that. I've built two now and have not had that problem (though with a 2824)...

I thought the movement holder that comes with the case didn't need tabs? It's tall, almost as tall as the case. And, it has tabs that fit into notches at 6 and 12 on the case. It was my understanding pressure from the case back pushing against the movement holder keeps it securely in place.

Sorry for not including pictures. I'm out of town at the moment.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

 

Finally had time to get some pictures. So, first picture is the movement with holder:

Second picture is the gap between the dial and movement holder:

Look normal? Or should it be flush with the back of the dial?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
