Choongi Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I am using a clone ETA 2824-2 movement and purchased a genuine dial, unfortunately the hands foul on the genuine dial batons. Is there an easy fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Swiss and etaclone 2824 movements have hands mounted close to the dial making the minute and sometimes the sweep second hand hit the hour markers. The fix is a 'hand height kit'... HAND HEIGHT KIT FOR MOVEMENT ETA 2824-2: HH1, HH2, HH3, HH4, HH5, HH6 | eBay Sometimes there is a catch hidden in this fix because on some watches, the sweep second hand will rub a flat sapphire crystal. The fix for this is to use a taller crystal gasket made for a 16610 submariner...on 36mm DJ cases. Rolex 16610 and 162xx DJ use the same crystal, only the gasket is different. I am not familiar with oversize DJ 41 etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torobravo Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 The critical fits for compatibility are the hour and minute hands of the dial, often they won´t fit due the .mm difference on the gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Auto outlined the less expensive long road. The short (though more expensive) road would be to fit the gen dial to a gen movement & handset, or swap the gen dial for a rep dial. It all depends on your goal, patience level & bank account.
