Anyone aware of any videos or tutorials on how to remove and replace date wheel on eta 2824-2. Cant seem to find any on google.

The very best way to learn is with Mark's lessons:

Also, we have a dedicated section where is considered polite to introduce oneself even before asking questions.

Thanks will check it out

I'm pretty sure that Mark also made videos about the 2824, that would answer your specific question but the lessons teaches how to do things correctly, and why.

ETA came up with an easier way to get the date-wheel in place in the 2824 compared to other older movements where you need to mess with springs and jumpers and hope pray the jumper spring doesn't fly off.

You install the jumper and its cover first, then align the teeth on the date-wheel with the slots in the edge of the cover and push the jumper aside. Once the date-wheel is in place the jumper will align the date wheel correctly. Finally install the minute wheel cover and screw it down. This completes the date-wheel installation.

A bit unusual if this is the first time you've worked on one. Trouble is we're so used to this movements we expect everyone to know this!

    • 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
