This elusive DG4813...

Recommended Posts

Luthier

Recently I found the factory, that make DG4813 - with so much desirable long cannon pinion.

I don't know much about this mov't, except it's 28,800 bph, and MIGHT BE straight replacement of DG2813 or 21j with same functions - seconds, minutes and hours hands, and date @3.

Will 21j or DG2813 hands fit this mov't? Any other information?

 

This is DG4813 with short cannon pinion.

This one - with long cannon pinion.

A few pictures of the movement.

I have swapped in a 4813 tall cannon pin for a 2813 once. it was a straight swap.

Dial feel, hands etc. fitted right on.

This would make conversion of 2813 cheapies into smooth sweepers a simple process! :D

 

Price? Minimum order? I think Trailie was looking for some as well :thud:

Luthier, if the price is right I will order 5-10 pieces. I have immediate use for at least 3 of these.

So is Ofrei DG4813. I've read interesting post on RWG2 - Ofrei sell 21,600 bph mov'ts as DG4813, people complained.

Okay, this thread is a tad misleading.

 

The DG4813 28,800 movement has been unavailable for two years or so - which is why it's only rarely turning up in reps at the moment (many models advertised with a 4813 are shipping with a low-beat movement instead - the few that are around are likely to be old stock).

 

A couple of people we all know have had outstanding orders for 2,000 of these (which is the minimum purchase quantity) for most of that time - and they're still not appearing. The factory may claim to be making them, but isn't.

 

Don't expect them any time soon, folks.

I received my 42mm UPO today with DG4813.

The watch international A2836 (orange)was USD70.00 more than the perfect clones DG4813 (black). Both look like similar high quality reps, I haven't cracked the DG4813 open yet.
