A new heart for a 47mm Egi

Recommended Posts

Timebandit

Hi members,

I was always searching for a better movement for these small egis.

The movements they were delivered with was not what I wanted to have

It was a TY2533 asia römtömtöm.....

In this case my build lost function by building, however it lost it, I don't know.

Two other possibilities were given in my cas:

1. Molnija

2. Cortebert 616

 

1 - 2 No matching hands in my spareparts to find

 

OK, how about an asia 6497 unitas ?

It fits if it is mounted from the backside

You can see the edge that has to be removed

Do I have to point it in red ? No, I don't think so.

 

It was so close to the inner side of the case, I thought: Why not ?

Just file the extending parts down to let it fit into the case.

I wrapped the whole case in a aluminium tape to prevent it from dust and

other particles that were left by filing and grinding.

This tape is used by our welders to keep the welding area closed.

I have grinded the edge down to the inner diameter of the case

Now the Tape was removed and no particles were left in the movement

After that, the movement fits exactly into the case

The dial also needed a similar treatment, the OD was too large

The next problem came ahead, the inside ring of the caseback was now too high.

It gave too much pressure to the movement. The only action that made sence was to file it down

After the shortening of the ring the caseback fitted perfect. No movement holding ring was nessesary.

I just need a new dial and the crown ( it only needed some stem-shortening ) must get some heat.

I hope it helps some of you to get away from these crappy movements that are inside of the 47ers

 

Btw, I fixed the keyless work that was visible damaged in the first pics, the hour wheel was also mounted back.

FYI

Thank you for looking

Thank you guys,

oh yes dingle, I would do so if it was possible. :)

but it is the top of a hill where my little creek is running throug my whole

garden. the mower can't reach it.

I have to do this with a really unsharp tool.

Ideas for a better and comfortable way are very welcome.,

Yes, I have, that is the reason why the grass looks like nibbled by rabbits :(
