ETA Movement-Just Curious

Recommended Posts

Just had a quick question out of curosity. Say if I have a watch with ETA 2824-2 (Asian Clone or Swiss rep - who knows) and another watch (different brand or model, say Tag Link and Cartier Santos) with the same movement, can I just swap the movements between them? Will the hands fits?

Any other problems or issues to do so?

Thx

If it's the same movement in each...yes, you can swap the movements without issue. The hands are the same size. You should be able to swap in a replacement movement if you wanted to (same model movement...just never installed is what I mean).

The only additional issue is you may have to transfer a datewheel overlay, or the datewheel itself to get the proper font and date window positioning if the movement has the date function.
