movement suggestions for mille metri

Post by tafari »

hello all,
I need some help for a movement for river mille metri case. normally they use eta 2824-2 automatic movements. but Im not a fan of automatic movement, because most of my watches dont get enough wrist time. thats why I prefer hand wound movements. so I look for a alternative hand wounding movement.

there is the eta 2801-2 and the sellita sw210-1 both movements are the same measurement with the eta 2824-2 only the hight is different because of the rotor for the automatic is missing.

the eta 2801-1 is not so easy to find, the sellita ofrei has them for a good price.
any experience with the sellita sw210-1?
or any other movement handwound which can fit inside this case?

thanks for help

thanks E, I think this 2801 will be good alternative choice too. As I dont want a automatic movement. I will clean them,oil them and put the hack feature inside Image

I find it a bit difficult to wind a Mille Metri with that crown and crown guard.
