Hi ssteel.
Not sure if you spotted this on Saturday. Am I correct that ETA 2836, as in yr video and A2836 are pretty much the same in changing the date wheel?
"Many thanks for your comments on my recent post on removing hands and date wheel on A2836 movement.
Have just watched your video on changing the date wheel, which was very good and straightforward. The movement shown is an ETA and I assume it's exactly the same for the copy A2836 in my noob V6s DSSD, or are there any differences in the layout or sequence?"
Regards
Richard

Hi and thanks for the input. Have copied the current message below direct as not sure how often past posts are read after answers are given.
Thanks for the input. Have thought about this overnight and have come to this conclusion:-
The noob V6s version of the DSSD D-Blue I have is so good in terms of casework, bracelet, very genuine feel 120 click bezel, good crystal with Rolex crown at 6 o'clock etc etc that I think it deserves a good reliable movement to complete it. I'm therefore thinking of just having done with it and putting in an ETA 2836 now. So, can anyone tell me where I can get one of those which will take the spare DSSD D-Blue dial/handset which is coming with the spare A2836? Both are from noob to match the watch.
If an ETA is available, I'll just keep the spare A2836's for the other two watches with those movements. This will enable me to enjoy the noob with complete peace of mind without worrying about something going out of wack at some point.
So, looking for new/refurb'd complete ETA 2836 with date overlay ready to just accept dial and handset to drop straight in to the noob. The noob case uses a genuine sized stem tube from what I can see and I assume the movement fixing in to the case (2 number screws) is the same on the ETA.
I have given some thought to conversion to a 3135, such as the recent post/review on the YUKI version, but assume this will require more modifications, as I'm guessing the sizing is different. Prefer to keep it simple if poss and I think the ETA 2836 has always been a good solid reliable unit from what I've read. Also keeps the watch able to immediately take back the A2836 spare movements if the ETA ever needs to be serviced and avoids me having to send the whole watch away in the post, which is always a risk. Also avoids any awkward questions about the watch being a fake.
All the best
Richard
Appreciate your advice.
