ETA 2879 slow beat on my Great white

[elprimerozen]

I have my Great white finaly finished...i have found the slow beat 2879 ETA and made the transplant!

My watch now has

Gen crown

Gen tube

Gen Flat T39

Gen bezel insert

Drilled lugholes

Remove the paint from the case back

Gen spring bars

And finaly the slow beat 2879!

I would like to say that its a great fun to have a standar MBW with no mods and try to source all the parts to make it look like that!!

Here are some first pics....and the story will continue till i make it more perfect!

Thanks for looking!

First i have posted that its an ETA 2846 because i had all the time in my mind that i have to buy a 2846 ,

and this movement is 2879 25jewels and it fits just fine!!!

What is the difference between the 2846 & 2879? Number of jewels, beat speed?
