eunomians Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 What is this movement? I have decided that I am not happy about the date wheel placement on this mystery watch. It seems to be too far inwards relative to the date window of the dial. I had assumed that the movement was an ETA 2836, but it appears that it is not. This is perhaps why the date wheel is slightly off. I think that the dial is made for ETA 2836, but housed in this mystery watch is something else. Can you identify what this is? It seems to have a fake ETA stamp as well. Maybe I can swap in an ETA 2836? Would the hands fit onto an ETA? Or is this an ETA? Possibly an Asia movement? The CN stamp does not mean Conf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Technical Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Bigger pictures would help, the "DM 2888 CN" are standard ETA marks, I think the DM is for the Date of Manufacture. Looks like an older version of the 2824/36 model, hand sizes would probably be the same as a modern ETA. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 What leads you to believe that it is not an ETA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Maybe it is ETA, I don't really know. I can't find a model number stamped on it. If it is indeed an ETA, what movement is it? I think I would like to replace the movement, or at least the datewheel. I'd like to see if I can get the date to be a little more off to one side than it is now.

ubiquitous Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Sit tight on this... I may have a solution coming in a few days that will not only center your date, but improve the aesthetics with better font... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
