Hi guys whatsup,

I want to exchange an A2824 with a Selitta SW200 movement. CousinsUK sells them and they are still kind of affordable.
The problem is that I see them with different stem heights;



Height 1 2 3 4 5

Does anyone knows which is the 'standard' height which corresponds with the 2824 movement?
I tried the search function and google without luck so your help is appreciated :)

Go to the ETA site, find the tech sheet for the 2824 and read the stem height from that.
Or, wait for @tripdog to see this and answer.

i am not an expert, but I would assume that it is all about the hand fitting height. The stem height should universally be the same.

Standard hand fitting height is 2 ('two').

^This. Those are hand pinion heights.
Determine the pinion height on your existing movement and replace with the same.
