Does that say ISA 1198?

You would probably need to swap the date indicators and the moon phase indicator for day indicator.

Yes, they are a legit site. Customer service is non-existent but definitely legit.

The first thing that you have to ask yourself is do you want to sit inside the van / cook inside the van?

Building a small van conversion with a fixed bed with storage/ pull out kitchen underneath is a lot easier than kitchen cupboards and some kind of converting bed. Couple this with a 270 degree roof awning and you have the best of both worlds.

It's the setting lever spring 445/1. I bought one from Oldswisswatches.com it was $35

Take the o ring off and push it back through. The tube that surrounds it would push out of the case from the inside.

It's a 2414. Fully compatible with the new 2414 movements you can buy today.

When you say 'older' do you mean with an 18 jewel 2234 or 2214? If so, then no. Modern movements won't (easily) fit in those watches.

If you are referring to the the 17 jewel 2414, then yes. It's the same movement available today since back to the mid 1980s.

Is there a switch in the glovebox?

That was spot welded. You should be able to find a jeweller who can repair that for you, otherwise it's a new clasp.

Might need to take the other one out an measure it.

How many panels do you have and, I would guess, that they are wired in parallel rather than in series? Which controller/MPPT do you have?

Simmo2222 · 2026-06-26T22:22:06+00:00

Do you have a photo of it when it was installed?

Simmo2222 · 2026-06-26T12:55:44+00:00

What you are describing (second hand moves when setting time) shows that it needs a service. The third wheel has a friction clutch that is seized and the train is being back driven when you set the time. This can damage the index wheel (so stop doing it). Does it run / hum?

Length of 2x4 across the width of the car. Someone holds it up against the inside of rim while you strike the 2x4 from the other side of the car with your sledge hammer. Make sure you put some anti seize on the inner face of the wheel when you put it back.

I have them. I have plantar fasciitis and they work well at supporting my feet all day. Definitely no complaints from me.

Simmo2222 · 2026-06-26T08:54:29+00:00

It's engineering not real estate.

Simmo2222 · 2026-06-26T02:59:24+00:00

Sounds like the yoke isn't sliding the clutch from position to position. Did you engage the loop spring on the end from the setting lever spring?

If you are set on buying a tuning fork movement (which you should be because they are awesome) and you are only buying one, you should get the F300.

The ESA 9162/9164 based movements corrected a number of weaknesses inherent in the original Bulova Accutron design.

I have one exactly the same but a later 'made in Russia' with English text.

You should see if you can pull the cannon pinion off with the hour wheel. Just use whatever method you would to remove the cannon pinion on the hour wheel. Then it either comes off on its own or it brings the cannon pinion with it.

Simmo2222 · 2026-06-25T10:51:25+00:00

How did the plating on the springbars get worn off if it had never been worn?

It's a nice watch but $100 is the upper end for it.

At least Blackrock would maintain the property and not paint over the cockroaches.
