Hi gents.

I got a used, but working SW330-1 movement. In order to assemble it, I need a dial spacer, since it didn't come with one.

Since this movement is identical to the ETA 2893, I looked for dial spacers for these 2, but come up with nothing.

There are, however, plenty of dial spacers for ETA 2824 and 2836. Will these fit?

Thanks

In the Ofrei page, I found the part nr 145 in a Sellita SW200-1 parts page.

The part is compatible with the following movements: BUL 1412.11, BUL 1413.11, BUL 1413.30, ESA 952.101, ESA 952.111, ESA 952.121, ETA 2801-2, ETA 2802, ETA 2803, ETA 2804, ETA 2804-1, ETA 2804-2, ETA 2805, ETA 2806, ETA 2808, ETA 2809, ETA 2810, ETA 2811, ETA 2812, ETA 2813, ETA 2816-1, ETA 2822, ETA 2822R, ETA 2824, ETA 2824-1, ETA 2824R, ETA 2826, ETA 2826R, ETA 2828, ETA 2828R, ETA 2829,ETA 2829R, ETA 2830, ETA 2830R, ETA 2831, ETA 2831R, ETA 2832, ETA 2832R, ETA 2836-2, KF 737, KF 738, KF 739, TIS 3108, ETA 2836-1, ETA 2846, ETA 2893-1, ETA 2893-2, ETA 2893-3, ETA 2824-2
SELLITA SW200, SW200-1, SW210-1, SW215-1

But the SW330-1 is not listed, although it states that it fits the ETA 2893-1 which is similar to the SW330-1. Maybe they forgot to include this movement in the list, no?

Can we conclude that the 145 is in fact compatible with all those ETA movements, plus those Sellita?

This would make my search easier.

Thanks

There is a chance, but I wouldn't count on it. If I remember correctly, you can request parts not listed on the Cousins site. They may already have the part in stock but did not list it for some reason.

EDIT:

Found it! It's £2.15 and in stock!

    • I would remove the wheels, check for damage and if not damaged, clean. 
    • Thanks for the replies! Here's a photo of the front of the clock and a GIF animation of the movement (exposed by removing the black cap in the centre of the clock). You can see the behaviour of the gears. It's a fairly valuable clock from the 80s (Braun ABW 35). I'm not sure if replacing the movement would diminish the value, so I'd prefer to keep the original parts if it's easy to fix. But since the movement itself is pretty generic, I guess, maybe replacing it wouldn't make any difference with regard to the value of the clock? Or would it? I suppose the value is mostly in the design.
    • Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.
    • I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.
