Jetsons Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Hi, everyone: I'm looking for an accurate GMT hand for the TW 2893-2 GMT Master. The standard GMT hand that's installed on the watch is a bit short. The current crop of 2836-2 GMTs have the accurate hands but I don't believe these willl fit the 2893-2. I came across these on Ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/WATCH-HANDS-FOR-MENS-G...VQQcmdZViewItem Does anyone have experience with these? Is there another source that I should consider? Thanks for the help!

Jetsons Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Posted April 6, 2007 Thanks for the heads up, vaccum! I knew not to pull the trigger until I heard from the mod experts. Any ideas where correct hands for the 2893-2 can be sourced?

dachshund Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Vaccum Not trying to argue, just curious, the ad plainly states that the hands are for an ETA 2893-2, what is there about the hands that make them incorrect for the 2893-2?

Right. Inquiring minds want to know. I've purchased other hands from that Ebay dealer and they've worked as advertised....

Look at the GMT hand on the picture....it has the bigger hole so it goes first on the stack. On the 2893-2 the hour hand goes first.
HauteHippie Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Look at the GMT hand on the picture....it has the bigger hole so it goes first on the stack. On the 2893-2 the hour hand goes first. That'd do it... Good info. I almost have to wonder if the picture is just wrong because the seller I've found to be reliable. It might be worth sending him a message asking specifically about this.
Jetsons Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Posted April 6, 2007 Look at the GMT hand on the picture....it has the bigger hole so it goes first on the stack. On the 2893-2 the hour hand goes first. vaccum, on the 2893-2 GMT Master, the GMT hand is located at the bottom of the stack followed by hour, minute and second. Does this mean that the Ebay hands would be correct?
t Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 I know this seller we have discuss many times he is a arrogant ***hole he is only interested in his profit... and he is a lair.
RWG Technical Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 2893-2 hand stack from dial up is: GMT hand, 1,80mm Hour hand 1,50mm Minute hand 0,90mm Seconds hand 0,25mm RG
HauteHippie Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 2893-2 hand stack from dial up is: GMT hand, 1,80mm Hour hand 1,50mm Minute hand 0,90mm Seconds hand 0,25mm RG Ahhh... I think that settles it. Thanks, Rob... So, Jetsons, these hands should work fine for you.
lionsandtigers Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 serg, just to chime in, although that stack will work for that movement, that is not the correct stack in the case of a gen gmt. should be hour, gmt, minute, seconds. you may want to get the modded gmt movement that has the correct stack, being that its going in that tw case, might as well do it right
vaccum Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 2893-2 hand stack from dial up is: GMT hand, 1,80mm Hour hand 1,50mm Minute hand 0,90mm Seconds hand 0,25mm RG You are correct. The hands will work...sorry for the confusion...my bad Now the question is...this stack still incorrect compared to the gen?
lionsandtigers Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 right, incorrect if you look at any gen gmt master II, the hand stack is hour gmt minute seconds
vaccum Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 right, incorrect if you look at any gen gmt master II, the hand stack is hour gmt minute seconds OK, now I need to confirm which is the correct hand stack on the gen pam063.
Jetsons Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Posted April 6, 2007 OK, now I need to confirm which is the correct hand stack on the gen pam063. I can help with this since I have both Pam 2893-2s. GMT hand Hour Minute Second Many thanks for all the help, gents! The hands are the last remining parts I need to get the project under way. BTW, the 2893-2 hand stack would be correct for the matte dial GMT Masters. They were changed with the WG surround dials.
cskent69 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Interesting discussion. Can anyone tell me where one can actually get a TW 2893 GMT-2. I was under the impression that these are now unavailable. I am not as interested in the modified 2836
