klocklind1 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Will the longer cannon pin and hourwheel from Cousin fit in my swiss eta 6497-1 movement ? I ask because You find the parts when looking at UNITAS parts NOT Eta ! Perhaps it is the same parts ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 They fit - just make sure you select the long ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks ! Do You know if it is asian ETA that Cousins sell or swiss ? They fit - just make sure you select the long ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Swiss, no reputable material house would touch an Asian copy movement with a barge pole (unless explicitly stated - like the Cousins 'China' range). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for that ! I have mailed Sam at Cousins about payment but no answer from him. Do anyone know how You order from them ? I read that You have to register an account to buy from them !!!???

Pugwash Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I read that You have to register an account to buy from them !!!??? This is normal. Most mail-order companies require accounts. Buying from Cousins is the same as buying from Amazon, for instance. As long as you know what you're after, it's amazingly easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robj Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for that information! I love this forum where You can get almost EVERY question that You have !!! The part you need is H3 with a height of 3.15 and corresponding hour drive as well. You will have to sand the back of your hands to get a perfect flush fit so don't try forcing the hands down lower when they are not flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klocklind1 Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Is it not the cannon pin that You have to sand down ?
