How balance stuff from 2824 can fit to 2842? Different BPH!

Thank you! 👍

ETA 2842, not 2824. Modified for Swatch with reduced frequency for longer service period

[@caseppinga5479]

Hey! i also have an 2842 movement of swatch, but the plastic parts broke that connects the bracelet. Do you have tips on if i can buy a new housing somewhere? I don’t mind if its the original plastic, or aftermarket steel

[@rosomak8244]

Go ali.

[@markus98sb]

This is actually an eta 2842. It is basically a cheaper, cut down 2824 with only 21600 bph and less parts.

[@philipparana9225]

2824 w 2846 parts?

[@Berlintime030]

Oh my god haha I just double checked the pictures and you are right! I'll correct the info immediatly! Thanks alot :)

[@markus98sb]

The watch is running really fast since you put a 28800 bph balance in a 21600 bph movement. Was a pivot of the old balance broken?

[@Berlintime030]

@@philipparana9225 I mixed up the 2842 and 2824 haha. I bought some aftermarket parts and just build them in. Timegrapher said that it runs fine but I'll have to do a wrist check over a longer time to double check! Update is going to come

[@Berlintime030]

@@markus98sb Nope, I just Switches it out because I wanted to try out the aftermarket quality. Thanks for the Tipp though! I will do a longer wrist test and bring out an update!

[@jcsivelli]

i have a swatch crono dead, wich eta could fit and replace it?

[@Berlintime030]

Old swatch chronos can only be serviced difficultly! No Idea which movement it is though. Sorry !

[@zoran69ser]

[@Berlintime030]
