    An update. It seems like a TY2806 is not a good fit due to the subseconds dial? Here are some pics of the dial and movement.

    Any idea as to what that movement could be replaced with?

    Many thanks!

    heads up don't think we can show mm anymore vaguely remember a thread on it . in what way does the sub seconds get in the way as in wrong position? feel a tad guilty as advised the movement but the threads all confirmed it . I once looked for a working mm that was damaged to case and crystal and swap out parts so thats an option .

    if I had known I would have maybe just advised a new one maybe a parnis as they do lovely ones for not a lot of money and they use the 6498 and 6497 which are so easy to get and service and work on I have used them a lot and you can use the russian 3602 in some of the cases too I have swapped between the two .

    I made a few from scratch so could be a fun father and son thing to do just remember when using the 6497 and 6498 if going no sub then you have to shorten the seconds pinion which gets tricky .

    think you need the st 16 then but seem hard to get or is that just where I have checked ?
