Has anyone tried using a polex 2836 datewheel on a 2824?

What glue should I use?

I used crazy glue.

lol! i'm getting the parts backward. Yes yes, I'm trying to put cubic's datewheel on the metal wheel from the movement. That was what I've been trying to do. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you for pointing that out pug!

Hot damn! That's nice! I just love the white panda dial. Good job avitt!

I'm on my 3rd one! It's soo hard to put it on the date wheel without getting glue on it, without misaligning it, and withing bending it. Curse me and my fat fingers! This is driving me absolutely insane in my membrane! Any hints for putting that sucker one or better yet... Anyone willing to put it on for me? I'm going bonkers! Thanks for letting me vent! EDIT: i'm trying to get it on a 2824 for my 16233 project.

Was that taken away just recently?

Vnema, Let me know when you get a spacer for your next franken project. I'd like to have one for the 2824-2 movement using the 16233 case. Thanks!

Who is who.? Marrick and I have contacted each other, but he seems very busy with his school work. kruzer00: are you a watchsmith? If so, can you help me with my Speedmaster pro this week? Thanks

I'm looking for someone in NYC to install a dial and hands on my gen speedmaster pro. Know of anyone? Thanks!

LOL. Thanks for the advices! It's just so darn exciting to tackle a job I have never done before.

Hi The Zigmeister, thanks! how do I remove the dial and how should I install the tiny sub dial hands? I noticed that the diameter of the bic pen ink tube is much wider than the tiny sub dial hands. THnanks!

I can't find the stem release button on my 861 that is present on the ETA 2824 and other eta variants. someone help? thanks!

KNow of one? I'm looking to replace the dial and hands on my gen speedy with new oem parts. Thanks!

I'm actually swapping the dial and replacing the hands on a genuine omega movement. I'm so scared~! Damn. Where are you located marrick?

Hi guys, How do I remove the chronograph hands on the speedy moon? THanks! Any illustrations would be greatly appreciated!

I'd like to know if a rep speedy moon bracelet would fit on a gen speedy moon. If so, what's the difference between a rep bracelet and a gen bracelet? Thanks

Oh yea! I can't wait for this to hit. Thanks arch for the update. My fingers are itching for those wheels.

So his 3rd gen dial is no good?

What I want to do is to basically swap out every rep parts but the case.

I'm inclined to build a franken ladies datejust and I want to know if gen parts would fit the reps? Gen parts like the gold bezel, dial, bracelets, crown and crown tubes. Thanks

My bezel isn't straight and I want to align it, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to remove it. Has anyone got it to pop off? Thanks. This is the watch (photo stolen from ryaku)
