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

      Vintage pocket watches from e-bay (winding stems needed)

      By nickelsilver · Posted

      These are all American movements (with the exception of the "Rubis"), and are all almost certainly "negative set" which means the stem is part of the case. So it's normal that they are all missing- they are with their cases. You will need male square bench keys to wind/disarm them. Vintagewatchstraps has a great writeup on the different systems. But basically, any American "x" size movement will fit any case for that size, possibly with some adjusting of the stem position. With Swiss movements, there is some interchangeability between calibers, usually within the same maker's range, but not really overall- there are thousands of different stems out there.

      Vintage pocket watches from e-bay (winding stems needed)

      By Mallard · Posted

      Hi, I'm very new to watchmaking and this is my first time posting here.  I've bought a lot of 10 vintage pocket watches size 0s from e-bay and just got them today.  Most of the balance wheels sprung quite freely and thus seemed like a worthy endeavor as a first batch for exploration.  I've just realized that none of them have any winding stems. Is there any way I could source appropriate winding stems for the movements? There seems to be assortments of various stems selling in bulk on aliexpress, but would any of them fit?  I've read on other threads that some people lathe their own stems (which is waaaay out of my current skill set, which is pretty much nil). Others say that you 'just have to try a few and see if they fit'. I would much appreciate any advice for this matter. Thanks!

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      Nice work.  In the last year, I have been servicing Accutron 218s.  I have the official Accutron hoder that provides electrical contact to the movement.  It is a pretty clever design.  There is a cut in the ring of the holder (shaped like a "C").  When in relaxed state, the holder is slightly smaller than the watch movement.  You spread the cut slightly and drop the movement in and release.  Very clean.  I have made 3D versions of this setup.  Have not explored using it generally for other movements.

      Tool of the day.

      Double Oooooo   Removal tool? Dreamed of one of these. However, Kalle on Chronoglide showed everyone my system with the pegwood. Worked a treat. Felt so chuffed to be mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTFrXjiyGKc 46:40 for the wheel removal. Mentions me at 50:00 and does the removal with the pegwood. Felt like my 15 minutes of fame.
