namor Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hi, I found and bought this nice piece: Any Idea if this nice and clean movement can be re-used for a Project ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namor Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ah, forgot to say: The movement is stamped: AS OZ 1882/83 1885 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrickvilleboy Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 One thing i notice is that the date is at 6' oclock. You will need to switch out the datewheel for a D3 datewheel if you are putting it in a daydate. That is, if everything else is a perfect fit.

namor Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yes, you would need new Date- and Daywheels anyway - so this would be nothing unusual. I will check the measurements of this movement when I have time, perhaps it will need a new spacer-ring and a new movement holder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 With the AS movements, the date usually rotate CCW (and I say usually, as I can only comment on the ones I have seen). I have tried fitting a few into my vintage projects, but they turned out to be more headache than anything... In the end, I have found that a nice slow beat ETA 2846 simply works better, and is easier to physically fit, as it is a 1:1 replacement with the 2836.
