Z2 (2813 high beat)

The old movement was the Z2 (2813 high beat) and the new movement is an ETA 2824-2 clone..The hands and dial feet are are direct swap..The crown was unscrewed from the old stem and screwed onto the new stem for the Eta clone.

the Sea-Gull ST2100 is an excellent choice and Hangzhou 6300 also very good. The Liaoning SL-3000 is reportly also very good. The 2824-clone that has been reported least satisfactory has been the Shanghai Z2.
Z2, the crown height is the same as the 2836, and .5 mm off on the 2824, so im not 100% sure this swap will work seing as hes using the 2824
 The following are known Chinese manufactured clones of the ETA 2824. They have all been sold to 3rd party assemblers as well as used by the house-brands of their respective manufacturers. The Sea-Gull movements have also been used as ebauche for Swiss movements. Perhaps some of the others have too.

Sea-Gull ST21 series (e.g. ST2130)
Hangzhou 6-series (e.g. 6300)
Liaoning Peacock SL3000
Shanghai Z2

This shows the evolution from the eighties-era-designed Shanghai B to the recently-developed Z2. The movement in the middle is a kind of improved Shanghai B.The newly-developed Z2 is indeed a very good movement, on a par with his Seagull counterpart.

brasé de l'étain sur un cable en acier.

parfaitement possible de brasé de l'étain sur un cable en acier.
Il vous faut de la graisse de décapage qu on utilise pour les
brasures a l'étain pour les tubes de cuivre.
Du fil d'étain pour réalisé votre brasure
Le reste est dans la technique d'application.

passez l'éxtrémitée de votre cable au papier de verre
( important il doit être bien propre et sans poussière)
ne plus touché avec les doits une fois le nettoyage exécuté.

Trempé l'extrémitée du cable dans la graisse de décapage
(au plus il y en a sur l'extrémitée au mieux c'est)
Faites chauffé votre fer a souder (electrique)
Oui un fer a souder comme pour faire les soudures sur des composants électriques ; résistances diodes ect..

Quand votre fer est chaud
appliquer du fil de brasure directement sur le bec du fer a souder évidement en petite quantitée de façon a ce que vous
ayez une petite goute pendante d'étain sur le bec
Prenez votre cable
et passé le doucement dans la goute d'étain qui est sur le bec de votre fer a souder

Si ca ne prend pas alors préchauffé un peux l'extrémitée
du cable avant d'y appliquer l'étain

Normalement y a pas de problème, apres un ou deux éssais
vous devriez réusir

Starking AM0184



1. the hands of an ETA fit
2. it has four dial pin screw positions that make it suitable for both DG2813/M8215 and ETA 2824/2836 dials, dials that have four pins actually fit with all four of them without the need to cut any of them
3. the canon length is quite short, but the Starking watches come with an extra thin spacer, also with four cut-outs to fit any kind of dial. Do watch out for thick dials for this reason, especially with thick markers.
4. the watch is about as cheap as most low beat movements in this category
5. The main spring has jewel bearings, so it has at least two more jewels as a DG2813
6. The date flip transition takes about a quarter of an hour from starting to move to actually flicking over
7. The date wheel is a bit smaller than DG2813, so beware
8. DG2813 or ETA date wheels don't fit as they're too thick, especially since the short canon.
9. the movement is 99% based upon a DG2813, but different enough to not fit the high beat parts. At least I didn't succeed to make a swap there, and made two attempts. I couldn't figure out why yet, checked all the parts under the magnifiers (Mantis and HD cams with macro lenses) I have.

Features: 3-pin / calendar
Dimensions: ø26mm
Thickness: 5.18mm
The median: 2.03mm
Frequency: 28800 times per hour

aligning the six pivots

After spending a healthy couple hours rebuilding two of these movements of learned a couple things: 
First, if you rearrange the letters and numbers in A2813 it spells “Satan’s illegitimate demon spawn”. 
Second, after struggling through aligning the six pivots over and over - I finally realized the dang click is constantly in the way. I ended up using a very small piece of rodico to hold it open while I set the bridge. Voila! I set it first shot after that. With the click not pushing on the  paw winding wheel it stood straight and made life easier. Just be careful not to place the rodico in a way that get it pinched and gummed in there once assembled.

 Another trick is just to turn it 180° and put it back after the plate has been mounted. It works perfectly

Mainspring Barrel




Step 1. Open the Mainspring Barrel
Put your fingers on the edge and press down.

Mainspring Barrel Opened    


Step 2. Pick out the Arbor (right)




Step 3.Pull out the Mainspring slowly and carefully. 




Pay attention on the end of the Mainspring and the Barrel in green circle.



Step 4. Assembly



According to the winding direction, place the Mainspring and the Barrel as shown on the left hand side.


Step 5. Pick up the Mainspring without changing its direction.

    

Step6. Put the Mainspring back into the Barrel.



The slot on the barrel should hold the Mainspring in position (green circle)



   
Step 7. Put the Arbor back and close it.

oiling swiss lever



Methods 6 and 7:
There are two main alternative methods for lubricating the pallet stones:-

1. The lubricant is applied to the stones before the lever is fitted in place in
the movement. This requires care to avoid the oil being transferred to other
components.

2. The lubrication is applied to the stones after the lever is fitted using one of
the following methods:-
a. The lubricant is applied with the lever stationary before the balance is
fitted. The oil is applied to the impulse plane of the exit stone, usually
from the top and the lever moved from side to side to advance the
teeth. When three or four escape wheel teeth have passed the process
is repeated until all the teeth have been equally and evenly lubricated.

b. The movement is turned over and the exit stone is lubricated through
the inspection hole in the main plate and the lever moved from side to
side to advance the teeth. When three or four escape wheel teeth have
passed the process is repeated until all the teeth have been equally and
evenly lubricated.

c. A small amount of the lubricant is applied to each of the escape wheel
teeth.
The movement is turned over and the escape wheel teeth are
lubricated through the inspection hole in the main plate. The oiler is
charged with oil / grease and then lowered to a position that allows
the moving escape wheel teeth tips to pass through the oil/grease, one
by one, until all teeth and pallet stones have been equally and evenly
lubricated.
A little on a few of the escape wheel teeth, by the action of the watch it will distribute the oil to the pallet pins this in turn will oil the rest of the teeth on the escapement wheel.
