That would be a backwards step, just get the reverser wheels replaced, a full service would probably be in order as well.

I have many Watches with ETA or Sellita movements and only ever had one with reverser wheel problems.

I take it that you are refering to the famous rotor spin when hand winding?

Ok, I have heard of that but not had that problem but then again I don't excessivley wind them as 10 to 15 winds gets them going, and just let the auto works do the rest.

Just get it repaired, why downgrade the Watch?

I have a 12 year old Steinhart with the 2824-2 and not been serviced in all that time and it works perfectly, I will at some point strip it down and service it but not yet.

I look forward to the end result with your Watch.
