I have built a 31mm oyster perp also. I have to say...it was actually easier than the 36 dj's ive assembled.

Also...@jmb the Tudor cases I've used do not fit a gen dial...the dials tend to be too small, but the case overall is very nice. Maybe I have a different version?

I started with a rep using a miyota movement and a crystal gasket cut down to fit as a movement spacer. The biggest challenge was getting the gen dial, which is considerably smaller than a rep dial, to fit onto the movement. I solved that issue with an extremely thin washer bought from amazon, glued to the back of the dial. This fits over the movement and right into place when the case is all buttoned up. The hands still fit, and I didn't find a need to increase the pinion height.

Here is the watch:







I posted a thread on rwi but they seem to be down ATM.

Btw...my case happened to fit a gen crystal gasket, crystal, and bezel. The bezel fit was tight, and there is more case showing around the edge than I prefer...it's not noticeable on the wrist...but you know how it goes...once we see it...it's always there

Noob question...

The washer provides the necessary thickness to the dial for a proper fit. Were there issues with the washer coming in contact with the DW function? It seems these two would be in direct contact. 

I have ordered a V1 31mm datejust with Asian eta clone with DW from Lucy. Should be in route. 

Then an comes the search for a pink dial, crystal, gen eta movement 

Interested!?!?!  Let me know.

I might actually have one...

Let me know

Jmb

thank you for the reply. I was looking into a gen dial swap. Maybe a crystal and bezel. 

Im guessing this Isn't 1:1. What roadblocks am I facing?  What issues did you encounter with the build?

thanks in advance

Nice. Thank you for the insight. Going to order it and measure things out. Will report back. Anyone ever having direct dealings with the 31mm. Chime in. ?

I a man going to attempt to build a datejust 31mm. I have located a rep (see link). And some parts on "Chrono24". 

since nobody builds these... I want to know if anyone has in the past. 

1 will a gen dial fit?

2 will any other parts fit?

i saw a tutorial for a 36mm DJ and it showed cutting off the legs. 

Any and all help

thanks in advance 

Hello all. 

New to to this site, but have been on others for the last year. I've managed to pick up a Franken PO, TC/bk sub, and a franken YM. Amazing. 

Right now im looking for at 31mm datejust and a 33mm Cartier BB for my woman. 

Anyway... wanted to drop in and say hi.
