naturopath Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Dumb newbie question: I have an ETA 2783 from an old watch that ticks along fine. I am also picking up a nice old 5512 Sub that currently has an Asian movement. Will this fit fine?

Champagnesky Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Dont think the feet will match but u can always cut them. Why do you want to change the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturopath Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Actually, it is a 5513. Geez. It enough coffee. I just love swiss movements... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Should work- it's an older movement that closely approximates the thickness of the 2836-2. Like C-C said- you'll probably have to cut the dial feet. Hand sizes are the same as current eta- 150/90/25. http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk&ETA_2783 Also good because it's 21,600 bph.

GenTLe Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Best option is to get a 2846, which is the same as 2836 as dimensions and all, just the escapement is different since it ticks at 21600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inviato dal mio A0001 utilizzando Tapatalk I got one: bought a 2846 base plate and transplanted everything else from a 2842 plus the date change mechanism, the balance hacking lever and the keyless 3 action spring from a 2836 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
