Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and have a question to ask that I am hoping you can help with please?

I am going to build a copy of the attached image using an ETA 2824-2 movement but I am struggling to find a Bronze case with exhibition back and the blued spade hands and Onion crown. Because I am new to this hobby I am hoping that the more experienced of you can point me in the right direction please? (fingers crossed).

Many thanks in advance

I've seen bronze plated cases on eBay. Something similar but not exact.

You will have to source for the dial, hands and miscellaneous hardware separately too.

@Liqnov Do you know for a fact that the watch you have shown is actually a real, physical watch (because it looks like a CAD model rendering to me).

Those "parts" that you think you're seeing may not be "real" parts at all.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes this is a Stowa Marine and retails at 1800 Euros so I want to make one as close as is possible without spending any money or hopefully

Hello, many thanks for the reply. I am finding it difficult to source hands and a face for the 2824-2 in the style as the watch. I also wonder if you know of any watch spare parts companies in the UK?

CousinsUK has a wide range of parts for this movement

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      Before putting it back in the case I would fit the hands and use a pin vice on the stem to make sure the hands were in line.

      Put the movement in a movement holder and it will be supported as you push down on the setting lever post to release the winding stem. Make sure the post is over the shoulder of the movement holder so what you are pressing down on is supported. As a general rule, hold the movement and not the movement holder. Replace the hands when the movement isn't in the case and support the centre jewel (if it has one) on a hard surface or staking block when replacing the hands to stop the jewel accidentally moving or even coming out. A dedicated movement holder with a central jewel support is even better, but pricey

      It might help us if we knew which watch like model number.

      Movement inserted from crytal side

      By Zedster · Posted

      Hi, guys I have a bit of a predicament and hopefully, somebody can advise. I'm working on a Roamer MST 521 where the movement is extracted from the crystal side. I'm now at the final hurdle where I need to replace the movement back into its case but I'm not sure of the correct procedure. I still need to fit the hands but that's where the problem lies. If I insert the winding stem to test the hands for correct alignment I will need to turn the movement over to release the stem again it's the spring-loaded type and needs a small bit of force to push down but with the hands fitted, I don't think I can do this on a cushion without causing some damage to the hands and that's the last thing I want to do, this watch has already been a love-hate relationship and I'm so close to boxing this one off which I'm counting as my first major project.  The other option is to case the movement then fit the hands and hope everything is okay. I've already broken the original winding stem but managed to find a replacement, the last one in stock, so I'm a bit reluctant to keep removing it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
