Looking through some of ETA's current movement selections and I see that they offer a model known as the 2894-2 movement. It's a similar layout to the 7753 except the running seconds is @ 3 instead of 9. I just ordered the new Breitling for Bentley rep that has the bastardized asian 7750 movement installed. Of course the running seconds are backwards on this new rep from where they are supposed to be. I'm thinking if I could source this movement, and I can , I could maybe get a gen dial and install to remove these flaws.

Questions I have.

1. Are the subdials spaced the same as the 7753?

2. Would the movement have the same dimensions as the 7753, I mean will it sit in the case properly?

Thanks in advance!

according to my reference book.

ETA 2894-2 is 28.6mm diameter, 6.1mm height, 28,800vph frequency.

Functions: hours, minutes, subsidiary seconds at 3, 30 minute counter at 9 and 12 hour counter at 6, date window with quick set at 4.

and 7750 is 30mm diameter, 7.9mm height, and 28.800vph frequency,

Functions: hours, minutes, subsidiary seconds at 9, 30 minute counter at 12 and 12 hour counter at 6, day/date window with quick set at 3.

It's a completely different movement than the 775x. The 2894-2 is a 2892 with a DD chronograph module on top. The subsidiary dial spacing is going to be much different than a 7753's...

thanks for the replies guys

Looks bad for my plan but worth a shot!

Looks like I'll have to have The Zigmeister make a The Zigmeisterfied 3000 or whatever it is he calls them.
