Hi gents.

I got a used, but working SW330-1 movement. In order to assemble it, I need a dial spacer, since it didn't come with one.

Since this movement is identical to the ETA 2893, I looked for dial spacers for these 2, but come up with nothing.

There are, however, plenty of dial spacers for ETA 2824 and 2836. Will these fit?

Thanks

In the Ofrei page, I found the part nr 145 in a Sellita SW200-1 parts page.

The part is compatible with the following movements: BUL 1412.11, BUL 1413.11, BUL 1413.30, ESA 952.101, ESA 952.111, ESA 952.121, ETA 2801-2, ETA 2802, ETA 2803, ETA 2804, ETA 2804-1, ETA 2804-2, ETA 2805, ETA 2806, ETA 2808, ETA 2809, ETA 2810, ETA 2811, ETA 2812, ETA 2813, ETA 2816-1, ETA 2822, ETA 2822R, ETA 2824, ETA 2824-1, ETA 2824R, ETA 2826, ETA 2826R, ETA 2828, ETA 2828R, ETA 2829,ETA 2829R, ETA 2830, ETA 2830R, ETA 2831, ETA 2831R, ETA 2832, ETA 2832R, ETA 2836-2, KF 737, KF 738, KF 739, TIS 3108, ETA 2836-1, ETA 2846, ETA 2893-1, ETA 2893-2, ETA 2893-3, ETA 2824-2
SELLITA SW200, SW200-1, SW210-1, SW215-1

But the SW330-1 is not listed, although it states that it fits the ETA 2893-1 which is similar to the SW330-1. Maybe they forgot to include this movement in the list, no?

Can we conclude that the 145 is in fact compatible with all those ETA movements, plus those Sellita?

This would make my search easier.

Thanks

There is a chance, but I wouldn't count on it. If I remember correctly, you can request parts not listed on the Cousins site. They may already have the part in stock but did not list it for some reason.

EDIT:

Found it! It's £2.15 and in stock!

    • Alex mentions the coils below the stud should remain the same as you move the regulator block along the terminal curve.  Mine do that. What he doesn’t discuss and is used in the other video is how the regulator block is used to adjust rate and positional error.  He also doesn’t mention how opening and closing the pins could and in my case does, alter amplitude  In Alex’s video once he sets the stud he never adjusts the regulator pins yet every new movement I get have the pins signing closed. 
    • The video I linked above does mention the spacing of the hairspring coils, and the importance of the regulator being able to move through its full range without distorting the hairspring - the terminal curve of the hairspring must be concentric with the regulator pins throughout the regulator’s range.  If you meticulously follow every step in this video, the regulator system should behave as intended, regardless of the brand of the movement.  Best Regards, Mark
    • Hi friends! My mother got a bunch of old watches from a horologist who was retiring, and he subsequently passed away. It's been in her studio for years, and she showed it to me today and I just fell in love with it. Sadly, I don't know a darn thing about it yet. It's quite old, or at least seems to be. It has two winding arbors, but the key is missing. The crystal appears to be some kind of yellowed plastic, which is odd- I think it was replaced at some point to possibly protect it or something. If I had to guess, it's from the mid-19th century, given that it has no keyless works and that it says "Anchor Escapement" in French. It looks to be about 18 ligne, and the case fob is positioned in the upper right corner. The face is missing the dial, the hands, and a couple of the wheels that drive the hands- I think. But the movement itself seems to be in excellent shape. The serial number on the movement matches the number on the case- it's stamped on the movement and on the case in two places. I haven't started any disassembly yet, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me some idea of what kind of movement it is, and where I might look to see what parts are missing from the face. i may even have a dial that would fit it. It's in good enough shape that I think I could get it running, assuming I could find the missing parts. Any insights are vastly appreciated and thank you! Addendum: The inside of the case has some *very* tiny scratched numbers and letters in it, but I am having an extremely hard time seeing what they are. Like "N 99" and "No192X", They were clearly done with some kind of sharp stylus and maybe they mean when it was serviced or by who? Addendum the second: At least one of the scratches seems to say "N1921X" or maybe "W1921X". Serviced in 1921? And the inside lid of the case has the letters R H with a star between them, and a very tiny mark that says "ARGENT" in a u-shape.
    • I’ve watched every video I can find on YouTube. Some of the info is contradictory and none mention  the effect on amplitude or spring coil spacing which I observed. I was hoping someone here is a Seiko expert and knows these inside out.   
    • This video explains how to set up and adjust the etachron regulator :   I hope that helps, Mark
