Original 2824 or 2824-1 assembly


Recommended Posts

The base is the same in variants of the caliber, I take pictures as you turn down specially of the date mech that you are not familiar with, this will not only help during assembly it also is a gallary to refer to and show how things were, where you might come face an issue,  if a datasheet exist,  it will be found.

Tell as much as you know of the history, issues etc.

Good luck.

Unfortunately, like an idiot I didn't document during disassembly and it was too late by the time I realised it was an earlier variant. 

I've circled the area I'm having trouble with, it's where the calendar click would usually go on a 2824-2.

Thank you for that, just found that thread and looked through his disassembly photos, unfortunately it's a slightly different date change mechanism on the movement I'm working on, can't seem to find any pics online at all!

These original 2824 docs say it's part number 2556 for the date wheel, is that in place of 2555?

I can't work out how the jumper spring (part #2575) fits.

2575 fits behind 2576 to push it into date disk "detent". 

A picture worth a thousand words, isn't it.

I've got 2576 in the right place I think, I tried to fit 2575 where I've drawn in blue pen, it was tight but went in and then snapped so I've either put it in the wrong place, been too heavy handed or the part was worn as it's from a circa 1970's rotary.

I've ordered a replacement part from ebay.

I've now got a replacement spring (2575) if anybody knows how to install it?
