Hey all. I'm working on a Seagull ST2130 rep for an ETA 2824-2 movement. This is my first foray into watch building, so pardon any errors or incorrect terms! I'm already having my first adventure and when working with the movement I messed up the keyless works. I did some research to find that was the issue, and watched some videos to learn how to fix it. I have been semi-successful in learning about the entire function of the keyless, resetting it to where it is now working again. I had to disassemble a few times after the date wheel wasn't working properly, or some gears were misaligned and didn't allow the watch to manually wind. On my last time reassembling I pinched a screw too tightly with my tweezers and it went flying across the room! The screw was to attach the minute wheel bridge to the movement. I'm wondering if there is any way that a case clamp screw would work in its place or where I should purchase replacement screws from? Also, at first glance I thought the 3 screws I removed for the minute wheel bridge, the clutch, and the date jumper were all the same / interchangeable but from research seems they may not be. Is there a way to tell these screws apart? And a good place to pick up a few extras?

I am seeing for these 3 screws there is 52595 (date jumper), 5445 (clutch / set bridge), 5462 (minute work cock). Are 52595 & 5445 the same? How to tell the difference between 5462 and 5445?

If you search for "2824 screws" on AliExpress, you'll find several sellers with screws that might not be labelled correctly. But if you look at the photos, you should be able to pick out the one you need.

Also, if you search for "2824 parts", you will find other parts that might get lost or damaged. But be very careful not to lose the balance jewels or springs. I've not come across any seller that stock those.

Good luck and enjoy.

    • Thanks Mark, but can we still discuss the other important matter please and not be distracted from it. Thank you.
    • You're probably not going to see a dramatic change but you should probably figure out what the lift angle is as it probably is not 52°
    • In tandem with my last post regarding the removal of Google Adsense on this website - I have also decided to fully self fund this site as a gift to the watch repair community of which I’ve been a member of, and have benefited from since being extremely lucky to gain an apprenticeship back in the late 80s.    Well, that means that I have also closed down my Patreon account - or, to be clear, stopped all future transactions on my Patreon account and this is with immediate and permanent effect.    not to mention, but I will, I really really do appreciate the contribution all my patreon and PayPal supporters have provided over the years, you guys have been absolutely awesome and helped to keep this forum alive and available for those who might not be able to afford the payments.    again, from the bottom of my heart thank you.     
    • My pleasure. I would rather pay more than have those annoying ads ruin this site. They were a terrible idea and something I never even saw much, but I was on my iPad yesterday testing a security update for the forum software and it was impossible. I decided then - they had to go!!! Also, co-incided with this, for those who are paying for pattern in order to help fund this site - I’ve just disabled patreon. Future monthly payments will not be taken.  PayPal is a little more complicated. I will try to work out how to cancel the few subscriptions but if you are a PayPal donator then please feel free to cancel the monthly sub.  I will, however thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping to contribute to this site financially - it means a lot. But going forward, I’m funding it personally from my pocket and that’s the end of it 😄
    • Thank you Mark it definitely makes the site looked much nicer. Although I didn't mind the ads as long as it helped to pay for the messageboard but sometimes when you had the feeling that there were more ads than message board yes it was a little annoying. Thank you
