2005SUBMARINER Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 so my beloved asian deepsea came with a dud dg2813 , no sweat i bought a new replacement from offrie for about $25 .. did the swap very easy but once i installed the dial to the new movement i realized that the date wheel was wayyyyyyyy of please see pic you can actualy see the movement ... so i did a quick search in the forum & came up with a way cool thread from the toadman & aj's dg2813 swap .. so i realized after reading the thread that i had to do a date wheel swap wich i am not confident in doing yet . so i went the economy route & glued on the old date wheel inlay to the new movement & BAM !!!! worked like a charm !! thanx toadman & aj !! so heres some after pix & i am happy as a clam man !! guys the offrie dg2813 works great ! its eta;ish . offrie new dg2813 with the old date wheel glued on : watch fully assembled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2005SUBMARINER Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 could not do it without threads like yours & aj's thanx man .. hey Toad are you sure that the dg4813 from like offeri is a direct swap to the dg2813 ? cause i belive a read somewhere that the dg4813 with the corect hight for the hands are out of stock & the ones on offeri have a short Cp so the hands will touch the dial ..

bkwbkw Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Fantastic! Just ordered the budget and I'm not as worried now knowing that the swap is easy peasy! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Excellent job. I've always wanted to do a swap including the datewheel. BTW, theres nothing "economy" about gluing the datewheel overlay, its a very smart way with lowered risk to get the date perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 thanx dude ! it realy is easy & the offerie dg2813 running like a champ man , if the performance of this movement keeps up to par , then i think i will not buy another eta rep ever ..

RIBOOWW2 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I want to try it on an A7750 so I wonder if there are extra challenges with the small chrono hands Bit worried about your leather sorry rubber gloves - does that give a better experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 the latex gloves prevents fingerprints on the dial , i hate when that happens .. as for the a7750 i never tried it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millertime Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Top skills there..!! Ive got a deep sea Asian 21j movement from Andrew, love the watch fantastic quality and detail ... The movement is a little nosiey though ( you can hear what sounds like the spring winding from the movement of the pendulum ) Is the dg2813 any quieter.?? Cheers.

2005SUBMARINER Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 thanx dude . i think the offerie dg2813 is superior quality to the dg2813 that come with the reps , i cant explain it but it just feels like to different movements performance wise .. i got mine from andrew to man for $128 its alot of watch for the $$$ . if only it came with a sapphire ..

Toadtorrent Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Is the dg2813 any quieter.?? Not really. The ETAs are much quieter. The A7750s are noisy too...but after The Zigmeisterification...like butter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
