How to read hand specification


gkmaia

Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out the hand hole sizes of an ETA251.262.

On Boley they describe the hand set as 1.50x2.00x0.30/0,20

Hours = 2.0mm

Minutes = 1.5mm

Chrono seconds = ?

Chrono minutes = ?

Small hands = ?

Could someone help me read this?

Hardly a definitive resource, but calibercorner lists

200/150/80/30

so hopefully that makes it even more confusing. I'd check the ETA technical documentation to be sure.

The only other thing I can contribute is that the subdials _can_ definitely be different hole sizes (like a valjoux 7733)

normally you don't find this in the technical sheets. For eta if you can find the manufacturing sheet that's where that would be. But I went through my computer to see if I had anything and I'm attaching something. Go all the way to almost the very back in and you get the technical drawings which cover the hands sizes.

then initially the numbers look confusing until you actually look at the specifications and realize there are two separate second hands in the middle. the numbers above break down to  hour, minutes. Second, the other second and missing is 20 for the little hand. then because the last pages came out of their manufacturing information sheets there is all sorts of numbers for you.

Wouldn't you translate this into:

Hand Sizes: Min 1.50, Hr 2.00, Sec .30, Sub .20

    • 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.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
    • C07641+ not sure what the "+" is for after the last digit.
