I've seen a couple detailed builds of a 7928, with folks using a cartel case like me, a2836 like me and yukis gloss dial again like me (which states on his site made for "eta2824")
From my understanding I thought most 2824/2836 stuff was interchangeable, never considered length of the feet.
When I assemble everything, with the generic super thin 2836 dial spacer, the dial's feet are no where near long enough to get any bite in the 2836's feet clamps. The only way to have enough purchase to grip the feet is if I ditch the spacer, however this puts pressure on the movement and won't allow the minute and hour hands to move under the power of the movement. Seconds hand runs fine. Hands move normal with the crown.
I guess maybe my movement has a loose canon pinion instead maybe? It's brand new but from an ebay seller I haven't bought from.
I will attempt tonight to install the dial on a 2824 and see if the feet length works for that movement with a spacer.
Also, will install hands without dial to figure out if it's pressure from dial or Canon pinion causing the hour/mins hands to not move.
Its always somethin, wouldn't be fun if it worked out easily everytime I suppose.
