Wanted Third Wheel for Eterna 1034 Part 214/38


Chopin

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is allowed here or if I posted right but I really need this part. Third wheel, long pivot for an Eterna 1034 bumper, part number 214/38.

I've found it on Jules Borel but I don't know how the site functions and I think that they don't have it (possibly only in their reference archive).

It looks like this minus the broken pivot.

PS: Has it ever been discussed of, perhaps, setting up a trading category where people can post parts that they need and whoever has it can contact the buyer ? Would that be of some use ? Could be just for WTB topics to prevent profiteering...

I can tell you for a fact that any kind of trading will not be approved by our Master (watchmaker) Mark.
But if you ask for free help that will not be a problem, and I'm positive that someone will raise his hand.

The only place i know that may have it is verkmästarna here is Sweden.  But not sure they ship outside Sweden . i can post a request if you like. And if available we can work something out. 

Are you a member of facebook Chopin? There are forums there where you can ask for parts . It has helped me sometimes to find that obsolete parts. 

Also would be great if we could have a thread here where members could ask for hard to find parts . We have that on a Swedish watch forum. No problem what so ever. No sale section just a thread inside the forum . 

You have also the watchpart.uk  page where you can search for parts . Maybe  not the greatest page. As most request don't get read. But find sometimes find parts there.

It would be lovely if you could post such a request. I don't have Facebook, no. :( To be honest I keep hearing about people involved with watches using it more and more...

Yes, a thread were people would ask/look for parts is what I had in mind. Not for profiteering but for helping each other out...

Have just checked watchparts.co.uk but I don't it's there and I also don't have an account. Any other place where I can look ?

Verkmästarna didn't have it :(  Was obsolete there also.

Someone knowledgeable told me that it doesn't fit actually and from photos it actually seems to be right (or wrong in the case of julesborel website).

The wheel probably fits but it is the "normal" short pivot version while I require the long pivot one which extends upwards where another wheel goes into.

I would just like to agree with chopin about a trading section. I know I have plenty of parts people are always asking for.

I would prefer to see them used than just in my storage. 

As mentioned above already that won't happen because our forum owner Mark Lovick has rejected the idea since the beginning. 

If you want to give parts or tools away feel free to reply to who is searching, or even post a list. 

Otherwise you will have to list on Ebay.

    • 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.
