cib0rgman Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Getting a little frustrated here over a project that it has been 4 years in the making when i was about to finish it, the movement stops ticking. now I need someone who can service and ETA 2893-2 GMT movement. This when I feel that I should drop all the reps I have and go Gen. Also my beloved MBW 1665 which has a 1570 movement inside now it will not change dates Let me know of someone in the USa that can be trusted with servicing these two Regards Cyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 "...now I need someone who can service and ETA 2893-2 GMT movement." The 2893 is probably just about as easy as an eta 2824/36 to work on but many (including me) are not overly familiar with them. I have a few 2892 and even spent the $$ on a rotor bearing tool but that is as far as it went. What this means is most of the repair guys on RWG are probably like me...not as familiar with a 2892/3 as an eta 2824/36. Ask around, I'm sure someone can help. "...I feel that I should drop all the reps I have and go Gen. Also my beloved MBW 1665 which has a 1570 movement inside now it will not change dates." This will be an easy fix. It is a 50+ year old design, very easy to work on, and the date works only have about a dozen parts. The only problem is parts if you need anything...expen$ive and sometimes hard to find. Two common problems are worn reversers and rotor axles so be sure to have them checked, and a new mainspring is good insurance. Probably be a good idea to have it completely c/o while it is half way apart, taking care to properly oil the mainspring barrel arbor on both ends and thoroughly clean and properly oil the balance jewels, escape wheel jewels and pallet stones. The autowind assembly is very easy to c/o and it can be done in a half hour or so...just a few parts. When one of my 'mechanical marvels' takes a dump, I put my trusty Accutron II back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I would be very surprised if @misiekped can't sort both problems for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
