ken Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 but the dial is wrong, compared to the caseback and clasp. it has the regular clasp and caseback. i opened it and it looked like it had a gen ETA 2836-2. i saw markings, but not sure the model. it looked like 2836-2. i saw the ETA insignia too. im wondering where i can get the wave dial and datewheel since this one is wrong (so maybe not a real eta?) and if i can take the hands off using ordinary tweezers? thanks.

scoobs1971 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Here's what I did to a regular SMP. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...1527&hl=smp To prevent scratches or damaging the movement be sure to use the right tools: - caseback remover - hand removal tool - precision screwdrivers - hand press tool - plastic tweezers for holding the hands These can all be bought at either ofrei (US) or cousins (EU) and don't cost that much. This is also interesting to read http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=24754&hl= Altough a different movement, the method will be the same. Also check out the post about removing an 2836 from a rolex. Should be somewhere in the technical forum. I think it was written by either Edge or The Zigmeister. Especially make sure to use the right size screwdriver for removing the stem to prevent messing up the keyless work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 who you bought it from? Do you have a pic of the dial, is it completely different from the dealer's site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
