Anybody else have this prob?
The last link towards the 6 o'clock position- on the clasp - isn't moving freely when the watch is on the wrist.
Seems like the clasp lock gets in the way of it moving.

its common, the connecting link between clasp and the link itself is a tad too short, sometimes filing the bottom of the "two teeth" on the clasp itself helps the link pivot
Guys, I just had one from sead and it was supposed to be 2836 but..... I noticed was the movement was a 2824 not 2836. They look the same in fact they are not stamped.....only difference being the way the date behaves as you approach the midnight. The 2836 is instant flip, 2824 just barely moves for a few minutes so you can see it between dates (a bit) and flips, just the way the mechanism is on 2824 vs 2836
No I did not have it apart, by washer you probably mean thicker than usual dial spacer, if they did not change the crown position on the case, and 2836 fits, surely a thicker movement spacer would be used, also means an H4 canon pinon must be installed since the hour hand would otherwise rub the dial

Well i was told washer, but a thick dial spacer makes more sense.
And i wouldnt be so sure on the H4 with out it being disassembeled.
Ive seen quite a few 2824s with the std pinions but the hand tubes are really long.
I didnt take any pic of the ones i seen but i got this pic off the net

I hate to say it but I told you so, I got a new ETA 2836, H4 pinons, TC hands and Dial, Genuine insert and crown on WSO tube and gen spec crystal with Adrian and Tagfan1 doing the work only problem is we got very behind schedule due to circumstances beyond all our control. I also got a TC bracelet here at home that I will fit.

Thats what Tagfan said to get because of the difference in the 2836 and 2824, plus when Adrian machined the case it would change the position of the movement and allow for the Gen spec crystal, I assume that TC hands take H4 pinions and that tagfan knows what he is doing, the movement was from O frei and so were the pinions...... god knows i have spent a bit of Money and Tagfan understands what i want so i have to trust him. He said the pinions would put the hands at the proper height from the Dial.

For what it's worth the TC hands fit either ETA movement fine. H2, H3 and H4 are only the height and has nothing to do with the diameter of the pinions or what fits. The H4 is necessary when you're using a 2824 because that movement is meant mostly for watches without the date wheel and they sit higher to the dial and it's very difficult to not have the hour hand scrape the dial.
The 2836-2 comes standard with an H3 set which will work on Rolex reps but with the date wheel overlay it's even better to use the H4 so that the hour hand doesn't sit down almost rubbing on the dial. H4 is always better but obviously costs more to have it changed.
I hope this makes sense...
