Sellita SW210-1 vs Sellita SW215-1: do they swap?
Whether the Sellita SW210-1 and Sellita SW215-1 share a case, and what changes if you move between them.
Close in diameter, not a drop-in. The Sellita SW210-1 (25.60 mm x 3.35 mm) and Sellita SW215-1 (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 Sellita SW215-1 is the Sellita hand-wound with date, the drop-in alternative to the ETA 2804-2.
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.
