Hi guys,

Please can I get some tips on how to fit the plastic ring onto the DG2813 movement. I’ve assembled the dial and hands but for the life of me I’m unable to fit it and place it into the case. Also there’s this metal ring that came with the movement but I don’t see how that will keep it in place either.

Whenever I think I’ve got it, the hands stop moving as they’re pressing on the glass - or the whole thing is rattling inside the case. I’m really hesitant to put any force as this is the 3rd movement I’m on trying to fit, as the others stopped working with all my fiddling.

noob question I know but appreciate any help!

How did you get on? My 2813 build is also touching glass but I did use the metal spacer that comes with the movement. Plastic ones for ETA movement I think?
