docthor Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I have a nice 16710 with ETA 2893 and would like to turn it into a franken 16750. There are some very nice gen dials available but I don't know if the date window will fit the 2893? Does anyone of you know that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revere Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Well the 16710 rep you have probably has a date wheel overlay to correct for the fact that the ETA movt likely does not match the date aperture on the dial. The 16710 and 16750 dials have the date aperture in the same location, I believe, so if the date works for the 16710 it should work for the 16750. Otherwise, a different date wheel overlay is in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docthor Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Never got back to this topic... Had to learn the hard way (bought a gen dial) that it doesn't work. It's not possible to mount a DWO on a 2893 DW because all DWOs are too wide. The date window position on the eta dial is different to a gen dial and so it's not possible to just leave it like it is and use the eta DW. A 2836 is different or has more space available so it's possible to mount a DWO on the DW. So I went for the better movement and left it like it is with just new lume from Domi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
