How can someone swap the 8500 clone movement for an SW200? I heard someone has done it but i don't understand how since it doesn't seem to be a direct swap, I'm intrested in buying a VSF seamaster but I'm worried that if it breaks i won't be able to mount something like a 2824/sw200, this has kept me from getting oneDM me... I think I have a parts movement of this calibre that I can salvage this wheel from for you.
With enough effort anything is possible. But unless there’s a guide on how to do this swap with the author confirming it’s easy and doesn’t require a lathe or 3D printer, I’d assume it requires both.How can someone swap the 8500 clone movement for an SW200?

I had heard that this was needed for the ceramic dial models since it’s thicker than normal, could one take the hour hand and cannon pinion from the a8900 and transfer it to the 2824? Are those parts not interchangeable?I seem to recall that when I serviced my A8900 I measured the height of the canon pinion and it was taller than all of the various sizes offered by ETA. If I'm remembering correctly and that is the case, if you were somehow able to get a 2824/SW200 to fit properly in the case, I think you would then run into the problem of not having enough clearance with the dial to mount the hands.
