Why not use a 2840 from swatch? Inexpensive, low beat, same dimensions as 2824. Not to mention it has no date crown position. You just need a plastic ring to mount it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because 2824/36 and 3130/5 are of different sizes, the movement tabs for one may not fit the other. I suggest you buy a box of movement tabs of various sizes, like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/G8415F-Watch-Casing-Clamp-Movement-Securing-Screw-Washer-for-eta-2824-2836-2846/132583080269?hash=item1ede91414d:g:EpUAAOSwdjha0s~2

If you see a 6542 that's "too clean", it's gotta be fake.

Love this. Simple black-and-white delivers a striking impression.
