Eta 2878

[Champagnesky]

Hi mates! Ive just recieved a watch with a eta 2878, does anyone know if it has the same dimensions as 2836 or 2846?

I have started a notebook on movements, which is a work in progress and very embryonic at the moment. However I believe the 2878 has a stem height of 2.5mm and the 2836 is 2.25mm. Both 11.5 linge.

Sorry I can't be more help. Perhaps a sticky with movement specification is something we could think of working on as a group?

That would be super helpful to know what movements are interchangeable as far as height, width, crown height and canon pinion diameter. Unfortunately I have no information that would assist in any way

This is the source I use, it lists the heights and diameters as well as the pinion sizes.

I have a gen 16xxx case, wonder if it will fit for a DJ build.

Hello!  I m new to this and I am kinda lost navigating the site.  I need some help.  

My pam has a loose crown stem and it doesn't turn the hour minute hands when it is pulled.  I read to understand that I can easily tighten a screw but I can't locate it.  I have attached a pic. ..can somebody point out the screw to me ? Appreciate it

160xx or 162xx? Personally I think the 2824 works best for both, but many people will tell you it's OK to use a 2836 in a 160xx case. The 2824 is the recommended choice in a 162xx case.
