2824 sloped date wheel

[CaptCalvin]

I'm trying to swap out a rusted 2824. The dial curves down at the edges and seizes up the flat date wheel that came on the replacement movement. The dial feet barely comes through the other side and adding a spacer means no dial feet will come through the other side at all for the fasteners to bite into. The original date wheel had a sloped to it to get around this, but as it suffered rusting, reusing it is not an ideal option. Anyone know where I might find a sloped 2824 date wheel?

Hi there. from Jules Borel , ETA 2836-2  DATE DIAL, CURVED  02557.2836.B .You can put a 2836 date disk on a 2824 but cannot put a 2824 date disk on a 2836 .The 2824 date disk part number is 2556 and 2836 date disk part number is 2557.The 2836 one is more versatile of the two, being able to fit both movements, but on a 2824 it will not change instantly like the 2836. Hope this helps .Or you can send it of to dial restorer.Here is a link to the date disk http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=e[bHYJ
