I recently brought a genuine 2824 movement. Cleaned and serviced myself, and timed on the time graph. I think I did a good job? I'm open to advice and critique. The movement came with a rado rotor, so i thought i look for a rado dial. To my luck? I found one to fit the 2824/2. 1897621999_Screenshot_20200129-023517_SamsungNotes.thumb.jpg.9da9849e4cd8542a34a127afb69894fd.jpgI brought a genuine Rado dial from a private seller on ebay, which is a lovely dial. I noticed the original hour wheel it came with was a H2. When the dial was fitted? The hour wheel barely poked out of the dial. I had to purchase another HR wheel from a seller in Switzerland, H4 size. That's was perfect. Here some pics of the movement and the results from the time graph.

Great timings, even after 24 hours! Great job there. I've found the 2824-2 to be one of those movements you can adjust close to COSC standards for a relatively small amount of money for what it is. Also they're a real joy to work on. I bet you found that too?

I would love to see it cased up when you do

Hi Jon, yes, it's a real joy to work on these 2824, I had a great time! This is why I have a gold and nickel 2824. 

I will update with some pics once cased up. Thanks Jon!

Good tg readings :Bravo:

Rado has its own caliber designation engraved on some movements, Dose it on ETA 2824?

Do you have a case for it? Will you keep us posted?.

Thanks for pointing out! I've not noticed the rado engraving? I will have a good look for it? 

I will update once cased up.

 

Thanks Nucejoe

Traditionally, A higher grade movement than Oris for example is housed in some Rado. Some come with screw micro- regulator mounted on stud carrier which gives a better control over regulating. I wonder if these good timings you got are for some part at least due to higher grade of the movement,  Also lets you approach  COSC standards. Someone may shed some light on this.

      Oh nice. I have a similar wedge style stump for my staking tool, so I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

      Gamblin Gamsol for cleaning?

      By joelcarvajal · Posted

      Thank you all for the replies!  Very informative! True enough, the Gamsol took some time to evaporate and does leave a residue. So not all naphtha are created equal!  Need to find alternatives then. i was able to try Hexane recommended by Alex and it seems great.  I wonder what the cons are?

      Yeah, I saw that in the tech sheet but I don't see how it can be adequately cleaned with the friction pinion still in place. I've accidentally pulled the arbor right out of the wheel once when I used a presto tool to try and remove it. Mark shows how he does it with the Platax tool. Those are a little too pricey for me so I got one of these from Aliexpress and I just push down on the arbor with the end of my brass tweezers. That usually gets it most of the way out and then I just grab the wheel with one hand the and the friction pinion with the other and gently rotate them until it pops off. Probably not the best way but it's seemed to work for me so far.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Thanks, Jon Sounds like a plan. Obviously I'll have the face on so do you think gripping with the holder will create any problems, but I will check in the morning to see how feasible it is but I assume it only needs to be lightly held. As for holding the movement instead of the holder won't be possible in this scenario as one hand will be puling on the stem while the other pushes the spring down. That was my initial concern is how the hell can I do this with only one pair of hands. All the other times I've had to remove the stem hasn't been a problem, apart from the force required to release the stem from the setting lever, but now I need to fit the face and hands its sent me into panic mode. If it had the screw type release things would be a lot simpler but that's life 😀   Another thing I will need to consider is once the dial and hands are fitted and the movement is sitting in the case I will need to turn it over to put the case screws in. I saw a vid on Wristwatch revival where he lightly fitted the crystal and bezel so he could turn it over, is this the only option or is there another method?

      Main spring

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      Hi Jon, do You think that relation spring torque - amplitude is linear? I would rather guess that the amplitude should be proportional to the square of the torque. I had once idea to check it, but still haven't.
