Swiss ETA 2824-2 watch movement repair (Assembly tutorial, guide, manual)

Hello,
In this video, you can experience the disassembly and assembly of the Swiss eta 2824-2 movement.
You will know the sequence of disassembly and assembly of the movement and what oil should be applied.
Thank you :)

Really, really helpful. I am a total rookie, and used this vid to completely disassemble and reassemble my movement. I messed up removing the stem, then messed up various other things trying to fix the stem issue. Finally, I decided I should just rebuild the movement in its entirety, despite not knowing what the heck I'm doing. This vid was so helpful. If I can point out to other beginners out there, look at how he tests that things are aligned and in proper position at each phase. So crucial! I used other vids to try various parts of my rebuild, and did not know how to judge whether had set things correctly or not. Most times, things were not, and required another tear down, and more research and fiddling around. Anyways, thank you!

I'm so glad this video was helpful to you. Thanks for watching😊

[@carlrupp392]

Thank you for the tutorial. It makes me appreciate my Breitling watch even more seeing the movement disassembled and cleaned.

[@EscapeReels]

Great video! The annotations with part names and function is helpful!

Wonderful to to see you disassemble and assemble a watch mechanism, refreshing my old memories. 💖👌👍

Great video! I am looking to replace just the balance assembly on my movement, do I need to remove the hands, dial and date wheel just to replace that?

[@ranatanveer9835]

Glaze with the oil or grease and then reassemble the barrel spring into the barral. This advice is for new watch makers.

[@greggusan]

Hello, I have a bit of an issue I hope you might have an answer to. I had to reset the keyless works (again, arrgh!), and after I had reassembled the movement, the date doesn't advance properly. Everything appears to be in place correctly, the quick date set works great and the stem is engaged and working as it should. But when I change the time through 12 am, the date slowly advances a bit before it should, and doesn't "snap" as it used to - it's a much smaller jump. It seems the small movement has taken some of the snap away. And therefore the date doesn't fully change to the next number as well. Why does the date wheel move, depleting it of some of the snap? Did I lose some tension in the spring, while trying to re-install the date wheel perhaps?

[@rockblues9443]

Thank you! You are a professional. Tell me, how often do you need to do such work for the watch? Or as the need arises? Should the watch be disassembled and cleaned if the watch works well and accurately?

[@watchmakerjd8525]

Even if watch works well and accurately, servicing is required every four to five years. Thanks for watching😀

[@ivanfreely6366]

You make it look so easy. I'd probably end up losing half the items especially the click spring (@5:47). 😰

[@exacthour43]

Hello! What time was it at the time the video was filmed? and were any parts replaced? Thank you!

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

Interesting that you are using the thicker HP1300 on the winding train and reversing wheels pivots. I thought the ETA oiling chart specs 9010 for the jeweled pivots and only HP1300 on the ratchet wheel post?

[@watchmakerjd8525]

It’s recommended to apply HP1300 on the winding works and reversing wheels pivot based on the ETA chart. Thanks for watching😁

[@simonmontoni5355]

Hallo, by the chance, do you know what does it mean DM in a 2824-2? also, in one of the lugs in my watch, is written SB01XX, have some idea about what does it mea?

[@watcherwatchmen7785]

Are you using the Bergeon Left handed screwdriver set or the right handed set?

[@RYENZRO]

I have a few pieces id like to have serviced. How can I contact you?

[@etebol]

Great work!! In another video I saw you do epilame treatment, did you use the bergeon stuff or episurf??? also I saw you coat entire gears...I was taught to never put any on the pinions in order to avoid dry white residue formation, is that a concern for you as well? Thanks for sharing I'm just a hobbyist who cant afford to pay someone to service his watches so I do it myself.

[@watchmakerjd8525]

I use Moebius epilame solution. It is best not to coat the pinion, but it is very cumbersome. It's also okay to soak the whole parts in the epilame and blow it out quickly with air blower so that the film does not form thick. Thanks for watching😀

[@etebol]

@@watchmakerjd8525 awesome tip brother. Thanks a bunch.

[@nathanwabre]

Thanks a lot for that. When assembling the stem lever system I can’t make the hand winding work. Any idea why?

[@dangarvire]

I found myself having the same issue. It probably is the click spring being alligned incorrectly.

[@goodspeed1618]

sir, may i know what screw driver size do you use for the micro adjustment screw? thanks for sharing this video.

[@watchmakerjd8525]

If you mean micro screw of regulator, I use 1mm screw driver. Thanks for watching😀

[@MiguelBricaBrac]

Does the balance spring need to be oscillating when oiling the setting and cap jewels? I am afraid if I loose control of one of the jewels it might fall and damage the balance spring.

When hand winding the crown of my eta 2824-2 in my Breitling colt slips. Which parts need replacing to fix the slipping issue ?

[@solstar4778]

I have a Hamilton 694-a that I can’t get repaired anymore due to lack of repair parts and I don’t want a newer watch from Hamilton for 30%off retail ! Would the ETA - 2824/ movement be a good replacement for the Hamilton non working movement? I’m located in the Texas, USA what would be the Approximate time frame and cost ?

I'm looking to buy a Bergeon handle and BERG-2729-ETA-05 arbor for 2824 main springs. Is the Bergeon handle you used left or right? Thanks.

Right handle is correct. Thanks for watching😄

@@watchmakerjd8525 Thank you. I was very tempted to order the Chinese set through Aliexpress however the soft brass arbors are deterring. As a hobbyist, piece meal Bergeon it is.

[@ilikethisnamedoyou]

Hi thanks for the video, when i removed the crown screw, now the pin i depress to remove it won't reset. Any advice?

[@watchmakerjd8525]

The setting lever does not come back up due to press it too hard when you remove stem. Unfortunately, you need to disassemble the watch and reset the keyless works. Thanks for watching😀

[@RAJohnson713]

How can I have my watch serviced?

[@shipmate3577]

I would like to see a comparison of ETA 2824-2 vs Sellita SW-200 since those are often compared and used.

[@checkenginelightison8317]

before you begin taking your movt apart release the tension on the mainspring.

[@sailwesterly5444]

He had. There's always a little tension caused by the disasembly itself. If it had been under proper tension things would have spun rediculously.

[@TheMr393]

Hello, I have a watch with a Selita SW200-1 that I dropped, everything seems fine, it is still precise and exact, however if before the date was changing at 00, now it does it at 00:06, and sometimes 00 : 05. Do you know what could be happening? Happy New Year.

[@watchmakerjd8525]

The watch was shocked and the timing of the date change was wrong. It's not a big problem that the movement works well. When the servicing time has arrived, it will be solved by re-setting while servicing. Thanks and happy new year😊

[@Nobody4rpresident]

@@jazzsounds8159 - Same here. I have a new Flieger type A with an ETA 2824-2. It was tested at -2 seconds a day over a 30 day period. I dropped it soon afterwards off a bathroom counter to the tile floor. The watch now runs -10 seconds a day. I know -10 seconds per day is within the range of the 2824 but I sure miss the -2 seconds. What happens to the movement with a shock that affects the accuracy like that?

Which one is better the Longines 2824-2 or Breitling.

It doesn't mean much to compare, but I think Breitling with top grade of 2824 movement would be a little better.😅

[@Suesses-Einhorn]

Hi, please use multi purpose grease, just apply it with a toothpick. For the mainspring use silicon grease, for brake and balance use baby oil, the superior synthetic lube! For cleaning put parts into a plastic cup and swirl them in brake parts cleaner. This is best practice ans should be established in the wohle world of watch servicing.

[@jonduberman2573]

Sounds pretty ghetto. Might as well use bacon grease and simply green.

Ratchet Wheel Being Removed . . . Yes, Did That, OK - I'm With You So Far.... Crown Wheel And Core Are Being Removed "Reverse Screw". . . . AND - That's Why I'm Watching.... That Also Explains Why/How I Broke Off The Head Of That Screw....! I Suspected As Much.... A Little Super Glue And No One Will Notice... Fortunately . . . .

Actually, I Think What I Have Are "Shanghai Z2 (SB1HRZ2) - 21,600bph movements".... Anyway They Were 2 For $36.42.... They're Different Where You Adjust The + - Screw Is NOT Sunk Down But All Flat.... Good Enough To Learn On Though....

Is there any minimum amount of oils, that you could do this service on? Did just watch your video and all four oils would cost +100€. Would there be any more cost effective way to do this?
