SSTEEL 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Spotted this on http://www.global-horology.com/GHMB/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=4773 Its a genuine ETA 2824-2 movement with a rouge screw loose. See that gold lever pointed out by the red arrow? What does this part do? I have yet to come across this lever in any of the 2824-2 movements I have worked on.

edwinowl 180 Posted January 19, 2014 Balance stop lever dude. There you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted January 19, 2014 Simples: That lever, as indicated by the L-shape, is to remind you that this particular swiss movement is a Labour of Love... Fuck me if I know - I could probably put 200 red arrows in that pic followed by a question mark...;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted January 19, 2014 Yep that's your hacking lever. It stops the movement (by pressing on the balance wheel) when setting the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Aha, cheers guys. Don't recall seeing this on the last movement I rebuilt. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dal Indeed, I am now at the stage where I can completely disassemble a 2824-2 and 2832-2, clean all parts, one dip balance and reassemble with oils Still have a long way to go with the 7750 though. I thought I'd completed my first assembly but one tiny spring beat me, its the one under the date assembly, near the chronograph reset pusher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted January 19, 2014 I have actually stripped down and rebuilt a 7750 as I sold a watch on RWI M2M but one of the movement clamps fell off during transit and jammed the movement. So I had to completely strip it down. I should have taken photo's - I'll do that next time . I'm busy building a wooden clock at the moment - a much cheaper hobby than rep watches !!!

SSTEEL 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Cool. I am currently looking for an old oak clock for a shelf above my work bench. Probably go for a Smith's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
