yodap Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi guys! I'm just going to buy a new Breitling SuperOcean Heritage, and the rep has the 2836-2 inside itself, but in the gen ticks the 2824-2... So I'd like to swap the movt, found one by Ofrei with incabloc: http://www.ofrei.com/page_183.html (2. one,plain rotor) Are the hand sizes the same? I don't know the 2836-2 specs... Are there any other differences (movt diameter, height, stem etc.) what would make the swap impossible? Thanks a lot, waiting for your answers! Greetz.

stilty Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 stem alignment is different. The 2836-2 stem sits 0.40mm further back from the dial seat (back of dial). Not worth the trouble if you want my honest opinion. you would need a spacer between the dial and movement in order to line up the stem, replace the cannon pinion, hour wheel, and the date disc, as the date disc would be sitting 0.40mm below the dial and look very odd.

yodap Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks, and what do you think about the Asian 2824-2 copy? Is it compatible with the real ETA one? Cause the watch want to order is available with two movements: The ETA 2836-2 and the A2824-2... I really wanna put a gen 2824-2 in the watch! So back to the question: do you know how precise these movts are replicated? Thanks, waiting for your answer! Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done this before with my watch smith. IMO just give the clone a complete full service might be better. the quality of the clone is a little more rough than the real ETA but quite well actually after a full service. cheaper and a lot less trouble..

yodap Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the answer, but I decided already that I need a gen ETA inside the watch... I am wondering because I think they put the gen 2836-2 into the same case as the asian 2824-2!? Here are some links: http://www.joshwatch.com/0000blsf10001-sup...242-p-4659.html (asian 2824-2) http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?pro...cture_id=254719 (asian 2836-2 , I didn't find a pic with gen ETA, but they can get it) I don't think that they produced different cases for one watch with two different movts? What do you think? Thanks, waiting for answer. Edited October 4, 2008 by yodap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Actually you don't need to produce two different cases. Just bore the hole for the stem higher on the cases for the asian ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks, I hope so, I think I'll pull the trigger on the asian one, and order a gen 2824-2! Thanks for your help! Greetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
