teddy boy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have four reps with 28-36 movments and one with a 28-24. For three of the 28-36 movements, I often feel a slight shutter when hand winding. I have an ingenieur with a 28-24 and hand winding for it is as smooth as silk. It feels like my gens when I hand wind them. I know that the 28-24 is slightly more expensive and considered a slightly better movement. Does that likely explain the difference or is it luck of the draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Other than a slight thickness difference, and the fact one has a Date as well as Day, the 2824-2 and 2836-2 are identical. There is always a risk when hand winding these models, as the click wheels are prone to damage. The slight drag you feel on the 2836 models is the click wheels sticking and eventually requiring replacement, the click wheels on the 2824 are still fine, which is why you don't feel any resistance. Best to avoid winding except to get it started. Mechanically, the 2824 and 2836 are identical, there is no reason to consider one better than the other...

teddy boy Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks for the responses. What I took from this is that I'm going to wind my reps by hand as little as possible. Instead I'll shake them while I'm watching tv or a video. (Cheap winders are lousy quality and I'm too cheap to buy a good winder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably because they are used surplus movements, and need to be cleaned and oiled...the ones from your country are probably new, not old...so they don't have the same problems. Once cleaned and oiled, they work fine. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
