Tribal Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Hello, after i fluted my mbw Sub with water ( the washer was damaged) I replaced the movement with a new Eta 2824-2. It was a easy swap. The movement fitted correctly... The dateoverlay was a little bit misaligned so it was a matter to do it. Here some pics of the result.... This is my daily watch i love it a lot RG Tribal Edited June 15, 2006 by Tribal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Excellent work, and fantastic pics! I love that image of the balance wheel showing the movement ref! Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrington Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Well done. Great job. Just changed my MBW 1680 movement to a 2846 for a slower beat. Had to mess around with the datewheel at the same time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 What exactly does "messing around with the date wheel" entail? Please elaborate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender110 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 did the MBW hands fit to the ETA movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to mess around with the datewheel at the same time as well. Glad to see there are folks out there doing the 2846's! I swap all of my vintage Sub/SD movements with these slow beaters... It makes for a huge difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I changed the datewheel at the same time to a more correct bold font version. The datewindow and date numbers didn't exactly line up so I had to take off the dial and refix in the exact position both vertically & horizontally. Not an easy task. And I messed about with it for 5 HOURS!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender110 Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd say so, as MBW's are usually equipped with ETA movements, namely 2836-2 - they have the same hands size as the 2824 has... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
