llsteve80 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm messing with everything today, finally got a chance to sit down. Took a first look at my new 2836, and wanted to try it out. I popped in a stem, and in the furthers most position out changes the time, middle pos date, and all the way in.....date again. And it is not hacking when pulled out either. I'm assuming its the keyless works, but perhaps I got my stems mixed up. This is a brand new, uncut stem, and I'm sure all I had anyway were 2824 and 2836. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The stem collar and surrounding looks correct to me... But I don't have one in front of me to compare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llsteve80 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks POTR, I'm guessing the spring pin in the works is off. So much for not needing a screw driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 LLsteve, I'm sitting here now, looking at a 2836-2 stem. haven't checked the ETA site, but I assume they are the same. The one you have looks marginally shorter in the distance from the tip, to the first"collar", however without a measurement, it could be foreshortening in the photo. Do you have you some callipers? If so measure the tip to collar distance (suppose you could look it up on the ETA site) and give me a yell. Alternatively I can shoot one in the mail...PM me. Offshore PS Actually, the more I look at it...if you take a ratio of the 1st section from tip, compared to the 2nd flat section, there is a difference.

It works, I reset that hooked spring and everything went great. Except it still didn't hack. So I took all of the keyless works apart, and the castle wheel wasn't on the stop lever so I fixed that too. Then I got clumsy and lost the set lever. So now I have to order one. Found it already on jules borel, I suppose I'll get some other stuff I need while I'm shopping there, like extra stems and dial dots. Thankfully time is not an issue as my datewheel overlay hasn't even been sent out yet. Productive day, otherwise.

offshore Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Glad you are fixed. I actually just got back from spending some time at ETA doing my "research" This doc https://secure.eta.ch/CSP/DesktopDefault.as...=3&tabid=28 Use the technical info, shows the stem (but not all measurements) and shows the crossreference, (which I confirmed from another cross ref chart.) BTW before you go buying stems, I have an assortment of ETA (18 different models - 3 pieces of each total 54 stems, which we sell for $25) if that may help. Now I'm not in to doing adverts or promo on the forum, so let's just say i do a little business in watch assortments and parts as a sideline. PM if you need anything.

Offshore Awesome, I was looking for that chart, thanks! Now I know for sure I'm ordering the right part for the keyless works. I saved that PDF to my hard drive. As for stems, I'm only going to get a few. I can't find that thread with the big list of parts, where did it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
