tried pushing it in?(not too much force needed here and heat should not be applied with a torch either)

Agreed

---Update---This has been a long project for sure. Still waiting for lugs to be drilled and this should be it. Found a decent diver's extension(gen) and added that to the sterile 93250 bracelet(best fit I could find) and searching for a gen clasp now. Found the ST6 date wheel and placement is correct for these watches. It is a Sea-Gull movement so the quality is there. The seconds hand is going to be a Bi@tch to source, as it is rather small. I'm building Duke's using a gen ETA instead and using a date wheel similar(Disregard the lume dust this will be cleaned on final assembly). Lume shot after 5 minutes(exposure to UV light was for 30 seconds)

I have a 2873 movement right in front of me and the only thing different from the 2824 is the stem, and the dw change setup. Other than that I have transfered the auto-winding, hour/minute pinions, etc. the Keyless is nearly identical. Now, this is the 2873, not the 2783 E

These are hard to come by. Wonder what a conversion bezel would be like.

Dig it

Daytona b&w exotic

Insane. HUUUGE. WOnder how long it will take for a rep E

I have a 2873 that I use in a 1665 and the movement is very good. Beat rate is correct I believe and all parts interchange (dials hands, etc) I bought mine on the Bay, but had to take the whole thing apart and clean/oil as it was not as described. it did "run" when I got it though. Be leery of descriptions.

Exactly what Chiman said

I did, but I wonder how "bad" the DW units are. I mean, they have the correct gaskets and if lubed, these should work just as well as any other(I think) E

I looove that dial!

<-- Not that hairy, and still pinches. Wear mostly Natos just like Commander Bond. No pinch, no clinch. The wife appreciates it also.

Damn

Getting all of the parts together for my 7031. Currently cannot find a black 7031 bezel anywhere(well, for a decent price) Does anyone care to trade an SS bezel for a black one? Also, swapping the pushers for gen ones. Is this a necessary change from the DW ones, or mostly just OCD and Frenken needs? E

I believe Trevor's 5514/1665(same case BTW) has the "operational" HEV. E

That's what I mean. There's a picture of a PN 6239 and the crown looks bigger than 6mm more like 7mm but the shape is more like the 700 crown and has the pump pushers. When I get home I'll post it. Thanks Freddy. E

Perfect! Thanks guys. I keep looking at pictures and some of the crowns look bigger than 6mm in some of the pump pusher models. E

V50 is the one. I think yuki has them. E.

Speaking of pushers and crowns(hate to thread crap) Is it correct to have a 702/3 crown with pump pushers, or were the pushers also changed with the tube/crown service?

Seiko diver day.

I'm definitely digging the crystal! E

I guess the thread is still the same one then. The ofrei pushers for the price aren't too bad.

Has anyone tried the 4mm water proof pump pushers Ofrei sells for their 6239 cases? How do the DW pump pushers hold in the water? I like the looks of the pump pushers, but don't to ruin the watch with sweat or rain water pouring in. I would love to have the watch be at least pool friendly while still keep the pump pushers. E

That is probably what it is. I cannot find the posts I read this on. Agin, thank you so much for your input M. E
