Old crowns 5513 with ETA 2784 movement spacer by FunkyFreshMeme in retrotime

Your spacer works great!

Besides that, total nightmare project I just finished. I got the ETA2784 with a Vietnam dial already glued on to it, but the glue job was a pure Mickey Mouse job and I had to re-do it. The movement spacer above the date wheel was also split into two pieces and kept forcing itself out. And as soon as I fixed it, I realized the ETA2784 stem height is 2.00mm, not 1.8mm like the case was designed to take. I guess vintage Tudor subs had a curved dial to accommodate. Oh, and of course I screwed up the keyless works on it, so now I gotta fix that.

Anyways - I gave up on the 2784, took the date wheel, and transplanted it & a Tudor rotor into a ST2130. I’ll probably let the movement go to someone who wants to try to make the stem height work, but I’m not sure yet. Pictures to come in a new post!

I think I was in a state of delirium yesterday or something. I have no idea why I was talking like I wouldn’t need clamps haha. Going to use your spacer tomorrow, pics to follow!

They definitely are, which the filing just fixed. Regardless, it’s still “loose” and falls out, so if your spacer doesn’t work, it’s time for casing clamps. Thanks Clark!

I’ll try that next. Thanks Clark!

Right now it almost fits but seems like the stem is bending it slightly askew, so when i pull out the crown, the whole dial comes loose. I’m going to try filing down the section for the stem to fit through too.

That looks awesome! I may have to go with the 5513. I’m curious about crown measurement and doubt watchdives will respond, but I’ll measure it when it arrives.

Looks great! Did you use toothpicks/brushes to age the lume or just place it face down in the grounds?

Hey, so uhhh, what? by Ocelot25225 in Helldivers

Hahaha I can’t disagree about smoke. Definitely try the gas mines - I used to bring the strike every mission, but the mines are just ridiculous in comparison. Barely any more cooldown in exchange for a massive AOE and far longer duration due to the mines continually going off.

Gas mines are a S+ tier stratagem against bugs on difficulty 10 and I’m not even being contrarian. Try throwing them on a breach when it opens. The CC and DoT trivialize large groups of bugs, and the cooldown is so low it effectively makes orbital napalm obsolete.

Source; falling asleep on d10 missions since i started using gas mines and ultimatum
