l3x Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm having problems with my 2892-A2 in my PAM 27a. May need to get it replaced. Does anyone know if the ETA 2892-A2 from ofrei or cousins is the same as that of the 2892-A2 in the PAM 27A (minus the Soprod PR)? Was thinking of picking one up to do a swap. thnx, lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 The mainspring arbour, the great wheel, the cannon gear, hour wheel, and seconds wheel are all different and will need to be removed from the modified Soprod movement and installed into the new ETA movement. The mainplate is also different if I remember, its' modified and stuff is added to allow the Soprod module to attach to it. Why not simply service the existing movement??

Unfortunately none of the local watchsmith are rep friendly. The problem is that I cannot set the time of the watch forward...I can only set it by going backwards.

l3x Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Also, is the movement suppose to be 2892 or 2893? On the movement it says 2893-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hmmm...that is a strange defect. Since it's the same gears that drive the hands when setting the time, I would almost think that the crown is loose on the stem. If that's not the problem, I can't guess what could be wrong, very weird. I don't think it makes any difference if it started life as a 2893 or 2892, there are so many new parts and changes that the basic movement doesn't matter...

l3x Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 When I attempt to set the time forward, the crown turns, and I can hear tiny clicks as I turn the dial. The hands move forward up to like 15 minutes and stops. But if I turn it in the opposite the direction I see no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was starting to think that "The Zigmeister" was just a mythical legend started on the rep boards to keep us noobs constantly pursuing the ultimate mod Seriously though, you must be a very busy man. But I hope that your workload will lighten in the near future, and that, after a well deserved rest, I manage to make contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3x Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 So I was a bit bummed with the purchased of this troubled 27A. But now the problem is resolved. I want to thank The Zigmeister for his help. Some problems are best left to the experts. And boy did he fix up my baby. Not only was the movement repaired, it was serviced, I also had vintage lume done, and crown guard modification done. I am as happy as I can be. Thanks to The Zigmeister. Pictured on a MP strap.
