For my first question here, I may be asking for a rabbit out of a hat...

I need a pallet fork for an ETA 2784 and I cannot seem to find the correct one.  Based on the older parts diagram below (available on multiple parts suppliers websites), p/n 710 is listed.  I purchased p/n 710, but the shaft on the fork isn't long enough to engage with the balance wheel.  (Assuming that I was shipped the correct part). 

 

Before I ordered another one, I wanted to make sure I was byying the correct part.  From what I can tell, the 710 fork was common to almost all of the ETA movements of that time, but further research would seem to hint at the 2784 not using the 710.  Picture of a newly packaged fork using ETAs new part numbering system 40.010 and refrencing the old (710) p/n is attached.  It lists all of the compatible movements in their respective families and skips from 2783 to 2788, leaving out the 2784.

 

Any assistance you could provide would be much appreciated.

 What you show beats 21600 per/hr,   but eta2784 beats 28800 per/hr.   They member different families of same  generation though. 

 The caliber number 2784 must be listed on the package you will get.

Good luck

Most likely you have bought a pallets (710) for another ETA mov.t.

To all Swiss movements actually. 710 is not a part number but a numeric identification for pallet fork. That is an industry standardization introduced after a long time ago.

40.010 is the specific ETA P/N. 710 is the language independent designation as explained above.

Thanks.  Any idea what the correct part number for a 2784 is?

    • First of all, thank you for the pdf file of the book on how to replace a gem. So, if there is a problem with the ruby in the movement, should I buy a new or used movement and replace it? When I watch videos on YouTube of people fixing used watches, I feel like there should be a way to buy a gem. Is there no way to buy it?
    • I suppose @donutdan is not forced to earn his living by repairing watches.  I suppose he does it as a hobby and wants to gain experience, to get better in watchmaking and time is not the issue. Then @donutdan should rather try to repair the damage instead of swap parts from a maybe intact other movement. Swapping parts is not watchmaking. All mentioned damages are repairable. Frank  
    • Yeah I figured that one out when I googled and realized that my spindle is actually from Horia. It's smooth with no screwable cap.
    • I am puzzled by something a snipped out something from your image and what exactly disassemble tell us? my confusion is the symbol for FHF looks like image I have below year symbol as a star and righted this instant are not finding what that means? I suppose we could use the fingerprint system to verify it really is what it claimed to be. Size itself is really interesting there's almost no watches in that particular size. Then were missing details in the photograph above like diameter of movements to verify it really is the size and are missing the setting components.   went to the bestfit book looking at the symbols didn't see it. Look at the link below I did find it back to the bestfit book and yes it really is there https://reference.grail-watch.com/documents/history-of-ebauches-sa/ then bestfit book says lists the size as 10 1/2. one of the problems with vintage watches is finding parts yes a donor watch would be good.
    • Actually, this could be the issue. Drag from the module could be overcoming the cannon pinion. It was definitely not at the point that the driving wheel was loose on the cannon pinion, it took a little bit of effort to rotate it when applying the grease. Maybe I need to look again at applying oil to the pivots.    Yeah, it's very annoying. I don't want to give up on it, so back on with it over again until I catch a break.
