bertieng Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Working on a new project. Wonder if there is any ETA shares the same dimension/stem position to that of the cal.1030. Shall a 2824-2 work? Any advices from the experts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 BTW, is it possible to put an ETA, say 2846, into an aftermarket case with gen. spec fitting the 1030? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 1030 = 28.5mm dia, 5.85mm height, 18kbph 2846 = 25.6mm dia, 5.05mm height, 21.6kbph 2824-2 = 25.6mm dia, 4.8mm height, 28kbph It can be done, but, depending on the case, swapping movements will require some combination of spacers &/or case modifications to make things fit/line up correctly. Unfortunately, due to the case-to-case inconsistency of most aftermarket cases, there are no hard & fast rules to this game. In my (limited) experience, you pretty much have to custom make parts to fit the ETA to your particular case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
