Sellita SW210-1 vs ETA 2804-2: do they swap?

Whether the Sellita SW210-1 and ETA 2804-2 share a case, and what changes if you move between them.

Adapter needed

Close in diameter, not a drop-in. The Sellita SW210-1 (25.60 mm x 3.35 mm) and ETA 2804-2 (25.60 mm x 3.35 mm) are near in size but differ in height, dial feet or layout, so moving between them means a new dial, hands and often a case adjustment.

The Sellita SW210-1 is the Sellita hand-wound, the drop-in alternative to the ETA 2801-2. The ETA 2804-2 is the hand-wound date member of the 2800 family, the manual sibling of the 2824-2.

They differ in calendar layout (centre seconds, no date vs centre seconds, date at 3). Sellita's hand-wound 11 1/2 ligne caliber at 25.60 mm x 3.35 mm, dimensionally matched to the ETA 2801-2. It is the direct manual-wind donor when a 2801-2 is unavailable.

Matching diameter and height is necessary but not sufficient. A donor is only a true drop-in when the dial-foot positions, hand-hole sizes, stem length and calendar layout also match. Two movements can share a case and still need a new dial, re-broached hands or a cut-to-length stem.
