Rolexaddict Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) a little warning - the DG movement is totally completely absolutely shitty - i would op an other moment - but that's just me - a lot of other guys love the movement pretty good but effectively could be problematic, it depends batches, I have one with a 50 hours of power reserve but unstable, another one which stops after 24H if I don't wear the watch, but it is at -3 sec/day I notified and identified 3 problems : 1) extra fragile and messy keyless works : the stem has to be removed with crown absolutly at the WINDING POSITION 2) from one movement to another, lot of play inside the cannon pinions, this provocs the seconds hand hits the minutes hand randomly. I have found a solution, using seconds hand with a longer sleewe and stack it a little higher. Those seconds hands from Yuki hand sets are good, just need to cut the extra long sleeve and tighten to fit the seconds hand axis 3)when setting the time DO NOT go reverse at midnight when the date has just changed, base ordered from josh now just hunting new dw (waiting on tc date wheel ) bezel have an idea for 2 one "used" and a new one for pics gen glass (anyone know the code of one that will fit ) gen crown and tube Now Josh know that the maker has a 1655 batch with wrong date wheel, normally now Josh send QC pics with the date window showing an open 6 or 9 Rolex ref for the plexi is cyclop 25-116 for the tube and crown, warning those from 1655 are 5.3mm as the case of the 1655 is the same as the 1675/16750series, the 5.3mm crown looks small on the rep 1655 for cosmetic reasons personally I use the 16570 explo II 6mm crown ref tube : 24-5330-0 ref crown : 24- 603 Edited April 27, 2012 by Rolexaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those seconds hands from Yuki hand sets are good, just need to cut the extra long sleeve and tighten to fit the seconds hand axis 3)when setting the time DO NOT go reverse at midnight when the date has just changed, Wild, I have had 3 (newer generation) DG3804's come through my hands. Other than highly variable time keeping based on position (clearly these are only regulated in the face down position), I have not experienced any of those issues. 1.) Keyless works. True, a bit sloppy, and when installed in a gen case with all the seals and a hair off center-- sometimes it will hack, sometimes it wont. I have not had any issues removing the stem from either position. In fact, on the "DGs" I tend to remove them from the "Setting Position". While the keyless works leaves room for improvement, it gets the job done. I would not call it fragile however. 2.) I must be lucky here. I have not experienced that. 3.) Common sense on almost all movements. Considering the DG3804's price tag, they make for a great disposable movement that works. I also think the date wheel alignment is superior to a converted 2836+Overlay. Just my .02. Not perfect, but bang for the buck is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 looks awesome on that bracelet Yes it does and it's sitts very nice on the wrist. The jubilee is the coolest bracelet for the vintage gmt i think! I got this from Rolexaddict and ever since then he asks me to buy it back becuse he hasent sourced a jubilee bracelet like that after he gave it to me, so im lucky!
