Hi
I'm looking for some body in the UK that can fix a ETA 2824 genuine movement for me. I currently have this out of a watch I have owned for about 8 years. I had to fit a new crown tube to the watch as the threads had worn out, so I removed the movement and replaced what I needed to do. This is when the crown stem decided it wouldn't lock back in place. I think this is a common problem with this movement. So is there anyone UK based that could possibly sort it out for me as I haven't got the time or equipment to strip the movement down and put back together again
Regards
Russ

The keyless works need to be reset - any competent watchmaker can do it, and considering you have already removed the movement from the case it would make sense to simply find a professional close to you who can reset the keyless - it takes 20 minutes at most.

russkea81 you just a keyless reset. A good watch maker should be able to do the reset without touching the dial and hands. You are able to view the sliding pinion and winding pinion after removing the barrel bridge. All your watch maker need to do is to align the sliding pinion on the yoke and stop lever with the stem. Is a relatively quick job.
