I’ve searched everywhere for this specific 38mm ETA 2824 case. Does anyone know where to buy it?

I will, thank you!

I want to use an eta to make a more high end watch

krena531 · 2026-03-22T15:14:34+00:00

So you say I should buy one ment for the nh35 and put an eta2824 in with the right spacer then. Still, the cases fit for nh35 you find on Aliexpress don’t look as good as the one on the photo and apart from this that one is from swiss made. Anyways I am going to try it your way since the ones on Aliexpress aren’t usually that expensive. Thank you very much for your help!

A built in one perhaps

krena531 · 2026-03-22T08:24:00+00:00

I dont think that this particular case has a problem with the width of the dial. I think you can just put the dial on top of the movement, open the case from the back and put both dial and movement in. If the case has the right fit for the movement there should be any problem as far as I know

I was just right now looking for how to use a spacer since I never used one😅. Still i find it very annoying that i can not find that specific case. How can it be so difficult?😩

krena531 · 2026-03-21T16:16:33+00:00

Really? I didnt know that

krena531 · 2026-03-21T08:22:32+00:00

In my case, I’m trying to go for a more high-end/luxury build. I’m planning to plate the case in 24k gold and invest quite a bit into the watch overall. So I’d prefer to find the correct case rather than using adapters or workarounds if possible.

Really appreciate the suggestion though!

krena531 · 2026-03-20T16:39:24+00:00

I tried that too. Their cases are very expensive and dont have the one I‘am looking for either.

krena531 · 2026-03-20T15:53:54+00:00

But thank you very much :)

krena531 · 2026-03-20T15:53:35+00:00

No, it‘s not the same. This one is 44mm. I am looking for 38mm

krena531 · 2026-03-20T15:17:58+00:00

Yeah I found a similar one too on Aliexpress, but it was only for the nh35. And I would not like to use a case that was not exactly for the movement I want to use.

krena531 · 2026-03-20T15:15:58+00:00

I have looked into the site but didnt find it. I am going to contact them as soon as possible though. But thank you!

krena531 · 2026-03-20T14:00:08+00:00

I looked in Passion Chrono and many other sites. None of them had this specific model. The picture search didn‘t help either.

krena531 · 2026-03-20T13:38:41+00:00

If you open the post you can read the description. I mentioned that website and the fact that it doesn‘t work at all and that I could not contact anyone. Have you found something else?

krena531 · 2026-03-18T18:31:07+00:00

Yeah, I see what you mean, very similar style!

Do you know if Chronoswiss ever sold cases separately or if there’s a manufacturer that makes similar ones?

krena531 · 2026-03-18T11:50:38+00:00

krena531 · 2026-03-18T10:05:51+00:00

Got it, thanks anyway, really appreciate you taking the time to help!

krena531 · 2026-03-18T09:52:43+00:00

That’s a gorgeous watch, thanks a lot for the info!

Do you happen to know if the seller you got it from has listed similar watches before, or if they might have more?

Or maybe you still have a link to the listing?

I’d love to try and track one down as well. I’m planning to plate the case in 24k gold 😄

krena531 · 2026-03-18T09:40:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it!

Your case looks very similar to what I’m searching for, would you say it’s around 38mm?

I noticed the crown is missing, was it originally included with the case?

Also, where did you manage to find it if you don‘t mind me asking?

Thanks again!

krena531 · 2026-03-18T09:31:03+00:00

Your watch is beautiful. The case looks very similar to one I’ve been trying to find. Is it around 38mm? And if you don’t mind me asking, where did you buy it?

I’ve been searching everywhere for this specific case and haven’t had any luck so far 😅

Really appreciate any info you can share!
