Hi everyone. I am from South Africa, studying Horology in Italy. 

I would appreciate all of your assistance in making my studies on becoming a very good watchmaker, please. 

I love watches and learning this is amazing. Any advice, apart from watching Watch Repair Channel (LOL), would be much appreciated. 

We are preparing for ETA in Switzerland, we will be there for five days, working on ETA 2892,2893,2895,2896,2897 and ETA 2000. Please assist me with any information please. 

It is more or less knowing the difference and dissassembling and assembling. Any advice. 

Thank you for this awesome channel on youtube. 

Goodevening everyone.

Welcome to the friendly forum. Lots here for everyone from beginners to advanced.

What level are you at. Don't take this the wrong way but you don't sound as if you have had any experience with the cal E T A that you have listed.

E T A 200 is 8¾ lignes so it is quite small but by no means the smallest movement that you will come across, it is also an auto and can have a calendar. They are quite straightforward if you have some experience with watches. There's lots of info on google about the ETA movements you have listed and good pictures for you to study.

Welcome aboard and good luck in your studies. Check out our walkthrough section and ask specific questions. I'm sure some one with the knowledge will be able to help.

For starters, I believe the ETA 289x (x is any of your listed end numbers) are all family of the 2892A2 so check for: date, day-date, automatic or not...whatever makes them feature different since the movement should be the same, plus or minus some sub system. I haven't worked with most of those so I wouldn't be able to tell exactly what the different features/complications are.

In any case, ETA 2892A2 is a finicky movement and should be dealt with much care which applies to the rest of them.

Cheers,

Bob

PS. I haven't worked with the 2000 which seems to be their coaxial(?). Mark has a video about those.

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
