Redfire1066 11,122 Posted December 12, 2023 Looks like a 2836 clone ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FudgyDocker 3,509 Posted December 12, 2023 Hmmm, it's either a 2824 or 2836 clone. Usually impossible to differentiate by sight, but the giveaway is the date change. Important as I think they have different stem heights etc, 2836 - go round with the timeset extremely slowly to midnight. It will flick over instantly to the next date without any creep 2824 - go round with the timeset extremely slowly to midnight. It will start to creep to about quarter to halfway to the next date then flick over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ant0702 471 Posted December 12, 2023 It has an adjuster - just tweak it to run faster. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just turn it clockwise ever so slightly towards + and test it on the free "Watch Accuracy App" downloaded to your phone from the Play Store. It'll tell you how it's running. What's the worst that can happen, if you're thinking of buying a new movement, anyway? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think to be honest I've knackered the keyless movement the stem is seized after I removed it I was tinkering to see if there was a issue pull the stem out for a look and it won't move anything now(yes I'm a twat I know I should have just left it and got watch Smith to sort it ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FudgyDocker 3,509 Posted December 12, 2023 OK, if you want a guaranteed good quality one, go to Cousins UK, and get one of theirs. You pay a little more, but it won't be an Ali Express gamble and you'll have some comeback.https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/3-hands-seagull You want TY2100 Steel Plate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't be embarrassed, for I have made the same mistake in the past. If the movement is total garbage with other issues, you can find clone 2836s (and 2824s) on eBay all day long. If it is a good rep that you care about, you can also source new 2836s (and 2824s) of all grades on eBay direct from Switzerland. You could call up your local watchamker and ask for a quote on the movement. Service may be cheaper than replacing. Don't toss the movement. You may need the datewheel from the movement, because the stock datewheel on a new movement may not fit the date cutout on the dial.

Dr Fun Socks 76 Posted December 12, 2023 Be a man about it. If you think the movement is screwed, follow this for the rebuilding and removal of the keyless. Its not rocket science. Just very small parts that like to fly into unobtainable places! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What have you got to lose? If you reckon the movement is screwed anyway. No one comes out the womb knowing how to fix a keyless issue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
