Does anyone know if a 16000 caseback will fit on a 16200? I need a caseback for a 16200 and was wondering if any other models will fit the 16200.

Thanks

Good point. I forgot that the older ones where plastic. 

Hello I joined RWG to share and learn more about watches. I just completed a Rolex 15000 DateJust build with all gen. parts excluding the movement and hands. I learned a lot and hope to help others with building/modding. This is a pic of my completed project.

I can confirm that a 2836 will not fit with out the date overlay rubbing the dial causing the date not to properly advance. The eta 2824 will work on a non-stick dial. When I did my 15000 Date I had to use a 2824 because its thinner and then swapped out the  pinion with this http://www.ebay.com/itm/HAND-HEIGHT-KIT-FOR-ETA-2824-2-H3-H4-H6-FOR-DO-IT-YOURSELF-CHANGE-/131732148773?var=&hash=item1eabd91225:m:mOt96At7UrNrstZYN9j2Dtg . If the pinion is not swapped the hands will hit the dial. I have heard if you use a lighter you can heat the crystal and remove the cyclops.
