ISA 1198 in 2824 case


Recommended Posts

So I'm putting together parts for my second watch build. I've got a 2824 case in the mail. It would make sense for this one to be quartz because it won't see much wrist time.

So if I purchase a ISA 1198 what problems am I looking at? I know the second hand is a different size. Will the crown fit? Is there any issue I'll run into if I decide to go this way?

isn't the stemheight totally different? Do you have only the case of also the dail?

The figure you are interested in is "T" which is the stem height. Looks like 1.8mm for the 2824. You'd generally want to get this figure to be a fairly close match for the replacement.

 

Thw 1198 may come in differnt versions of stem height depending on if it has a date complication, etc. Check the datasheets.

Thanks Rodabod! My ability to access what I need just jumped exponentially. Im going to download the complete website on to my laptop later so if the website goes down I'll have a backup to use.

So in the end it looks like the 1198-103 works. I'll give it a go and if it doesn't work I'll have a movement for a new project.

I think the 103 may be thicker than the 101.

1198-103 is 3.7mm high while the 2824 is 4.6 mm high. Does that mean I would need to create a spacer for the back of the movement?

It depends on how the movement is mounted in the particular case.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
