right looking for those parts at cousins now, http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/75/328.aspx

whats the technical detail of the swap out?

Best wishes

Ross

First of all thanks to all that have helped me come to this conclsion, Laz Stilty and co!

The plan will be as follows.

16200 case from a thouroughly helpful RWG member

Generic SS rolex bezel from Cousins UK

Genuine Crown (gen tube already fitted to 16200 case)

Gen jubilee bracelet from a new ish DJ

Gen White dial

Now the movement, Stilty reliably informs me that i will have to modify both the ETA 2824-2 and the 2892-2A so there's my only real dilemma!

I'll need to phone cousins to make sure that the generic fluted ss bezel they offer will fit the 16200 and is not for the 116200,

other than that can anyone see any issues arising?

I'm fortunately in posession of a rlx movement that will now be kept for a future project! What do we think folks, do-able for a newb?

Thank you all so much again for your help.

Best Wishes

am i right in thinking that it will need to be a ETA 2824-2 movment in the 16200 case with one of stiltys adapter rings?

Kind Regards

CR

okay genuine it is the chaps!

So gen DJ case with saph crystal it will have to be. I'll be looking for one on which the strap lug holes dont not go all the way through. Is the called the 16200 case?

Kindest Regards

Ross

Hi all,

I have a 3135 movement (complete) and need to find an aftwermarket DJ case for it to fit into. The case will need to accept all original rolex parts (bezel, new jubille strap, glass, tube crown etc).

I have done a comparable search and only come up with Sean at eta swiss who does terrific cases but only for the SM/YM.

Kindest Regards and thanks for having me here, I look forward to the banter!
