The theory is sound. Only thing left to do is try. Aside from those you mentioned I have seen a few sellers on fleabay that routinely have movements for sale for decent prices. Although I have not bought from them so I cannot say for sure if they are good or not. I got a nice new 2824 from Ofrei but I did it when I needed a bunch of other things too. Bob is very helpful. Let us know how it works out.

:lol: Now that was funny! Another vote for your custom images. Just have to be careful when I log in from work

I have the same SOH project on the go. Just waiting for the Zigmeister to open up shop again for the lume work. If you find you don't like the gen mesh let me know. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat I also have a ExpII with a movement that needs service and a dial that needs some touch up work. Also on the bench is a Milgauss that needs a complete case & bracelet refinish plus a movement service. Overall not too many on the go but my time is limited so it is difficult to make progress. That white TT BCE is going to look great!

Looks amazing M. Love the result. I have to agree that I think your dial looks better.

Depending on how you mount the movement I can't see how the rehaut would be affected. If you use the same spacer from the 2836 to align the stem with the tube then the effect would be that the hands are closer to the dial. Alternatively if you keep the same spacer on the 2824 the effect would be misalignment of the stem in the tube. In either case I can't see how the movement would pull the rehaut away from the crystal. I suppose if the movement clamps somehow kept the position of the movement fixed within the case then I can see. But my impression of the movement case clamps was that they put pressure against the movement towards the case. Although I suppose this is strongly related to the shape of the clamps. Do you suppose that in the case of the 2824 the stem is actually pulling the movement/dial assembly away from the crystal?

It actually makes more sense that the thickness difference is on the front side since the primary difference between the two movements is the day wheel. Probably they need just a hair more clearance on the front to clear the day jumper.

Great collection jmb. A little small (watch size not collection ) for me but I still like 'em.

I looked at all the documentation I have and I could not find that dimension referenced at all. Hmmmm indeed.

I would agree that it looks like a Seagull. If it is, it's far superior to the 21j. In fact it is almost on par with it's ETA counterpart, the 2824.

What an elegant piece. Your dad must be so happy with it. Love the dial!

Looks amazing. Truly a great facelift. What's Pugwash doing on the case back?

Love the hands! Looks like another keeper in the works

Welcome! Nice collection of Tags. I think you will need a bigger box soon after being around here for a while

Amazing story with an even more amazing result. That 1016 is beautiful. Big to the team for this one.

Cool project. Looks really good. Agree with your comment about the CG...very sexy!

Great comparison! The SA ProII really looks the biz. Generally I agree with you bracletaholics especially when it comes to Breitling. However, I do have a weakness for the Ocean Racer. It looks best on certain models like the SOH.

Very nice pictures. That green canvas strap really matches well with the styling of the watch. I like it

+1...looks gen.

One more guess for the 16520. Come on Chief...spill the beans!

Nice work. They all look great. I really like that Tudor.

Amazing gesture! The watch looks great. Wear it well on the big day. Congrats.

Cool bracelet!

Too fuzzy to tell. Need clear pics of the balance jewel setting to tell for sure. What number is on the movement? It is stamped just below the balance wheel.

Great shots! Where did you go for vacation?

Welcome. Funny enough the UPO is what brought me here too originally. Good to see you are jumping right in to try stuff out. Good idea to try things on watches you probably don't care too much about. You will probably satisfy your dream reps list fairly quickly around here. Enjoy!
