I’m a bit puzzled, I bought a 2824 off eBay ($30) and when I received it I placed it on the timegrapher. I was expecting 28,000 bph but it’s running at 21,000... so it’s not actually a 2824, although it’s the same layout. Any ideas what this movement is with the lower beat rate?

Have you not watched Mark’s videos?! You’re on his website :) anyway he talks about this and the fact that it’s a cheap clone. You get what you pay for.

Yes, I’m not concerned and realise you get what you pay for. Usually they try and replicate a genuine movement. It’s not a 2824 so what have I paid for? 2846, 2840,2842?

I obviously realise it’s not a genuine eta movement but I’ve not seen a low beat movement in this layout before so wondering which version it could be a clone of

Swatch produces eta in Asia. All inferior to swiss made:, but not neccassrily junk.

Posting a HD close up of your piece, helps, may answer your question.

Also posting on  RWG forum, thery are good with repls, you are likely to get a better assessment  there.

Regards joe

      Incabloc Lyre Spring & Low Earth Orbit

      Just a note for those who come searching for information on this topic in the future.  I did eventually find the Mark's video on how to replace these springs, as someone observed, he does in fact make the replacement look easy.  (It actually is relatively easy once you have the knack of it.) If you're enrolled in one of Mark's online courses, the demonstration of how to replace this spring is in the Bonus Videos section of his course site, and is called "C2B1 – Sea-Gull Style Shock Springs".

      If the metal was twice as thick, it wouldn't snap so easily.  The thickness is governed by the space available so you can't use thicker metal.  If you glued two pieces together, the likelihood of snapping would be reduced.  That's my theory anyway, could be wrong.

      there are various approaches to learning watch repair. A lot of people want to jump right in and every single watches something to be repaired restored. But other times like this it's disposable it's here for you to learn and when you're through learning you throw it away. yes you definitely should try this you have a learning movement you need to learn and the best way to learn is by doing something.

      Sorry, the friction will be so great that the wheel will barely turn, if the movement will start at all, the amplitude will be verry lo.

      If I can’t re-pivot the wheel, the logical thing to do is to descend the pivot hole.  Plan is to either stick a suitably sized hole jewel (from a barrel bridge or something) or fashion a blob of epoxy on the underside of the escape wheel cock so the wheel sits on its one pivot on the base plate and the staff with the broken off pivot (which I’ll polish as best as I can) becomes the upper pivot. As long as it doesn’t foul the 4th wheel it should work? I know it’s a bodge job, and if this were a rare movement, or belonged to someone else I would not do this. I’m just interested to see if I can get the thing to run.
