Am I correct that the 2846 doesn't equipped with hacking fucntion, or is it the one I have is defective? Can any experts here give some advice please? Thanks.

Undertand the 2846 has no hacking, does the c.1570 also has no hacking function?

Yes, you are correct. The only chance is to get it from your supplier if he/she still supply. So better to take care of your rep. crystal in case your watch case doesn't accept gen. parts.

How about the other way round? A 24-702 crown onto the 24-7030 tube, will this work? Cheers.

Thanks. So the bezel ring can be pop off easily then in case go for a pearl change?

To get a perfectly working movement of this watch is purely by luck. The only long lasting solution is to swap for a gen. vj23 if you are willing to invest the money, but then other issues .... case size, hands etc. will start to pop out too which has been discussed in details in the Forum.

Mostly likely the rep crystal is thinner than the Tropic in this case. Then the metal part where the crystal wil sit is machined larger in diameter to accomodate the rep plexi. There can be no fix here unless you trim down the thickness of the Tropic which I think would be extremely difficult.

Is the CG correct? ETA2836-2 in it? Can the bezel be easily removed for pearl change? The latest CN Sub has a theft proof bezel construction making removal is almost impoosible unless you want you want kill the bezel ring. Any idea?

Can some Rolex experts share some idea what is the difference between P-402 and P-502? It is said the former is for the Zenith movement whilst the later is for the cal.4130. Should there be any dimension difference between the two? Thanks.

Does the 2836-2 and 2846 share the same dial legs positions? Thanks.

Saw a seller claiming a gen. Tropic 19 superdome for 5513, is it correct? Does the T19 has a superdome version? Thought superdome only applies to T39 for SD.

One more question, it 2836-2 and 2846 interchangable? Just a straight swap will do the job? But I think the date wheel has to be taken out from the rep to put onto the 2846 as the date position is different on the ETA date wheel. Am I correct? I am referring to the 1665 and 1680 in this case. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Where can a 2846 be found at USD60? Can't find it anywhere considering the so tight supply of ETA movements nowadays.

Then how about the 1650 and 5513? Shall they also have a slow beat movement? Thanks.

What is the right tube for the 8mm (800) crown? Searching one for the "Bond" project. Thanks.

Any experts got the idea of what kind of coating is it on the matt dial (often found on the vintage Rolex dial) which gives the kind of powder like touch/texture? Thanks.

Gen Rolex rivet bracelets do not use screws. They the links are held by punch-head pins. Once the pin is worn out, then that particular link is dead. RSC can no longer service these bracelets coz no parts available anymore.

Hi RG, Got it. Tks.

Shall there be a rubber gasket to be placed underneath the bezel to get waterproof since there is definitely a welded grove on the case. But none of the MBK cases come with this rubber gasket. Any idea? Thanks.

Will a gen. date disc fit into the ETA28xx movement? Do they share the same spec? Thanks.

Thanks, but no clue where the valve can be bought though.

Still don't quite get it. The stem release button is on the back side of the movement. Even if by removing the hands and dial, how to turn the movement to the back side? There shouldn't be enough room to tuen the movement 180 degrees with the stem attached. Did you see how your watchsmith do it?

I am referring to MBK 1665. The He valve there is purely cosmetic non-functional at all.

Is it ever possible to instal a real He valve onto the 1665? Anybody did this? If yes, where a valve can be found to fit onto the case? Thanks.

What version is the AP in the picture. Doesn't look like an MBK by looking at the clasp and hex bezel screws. Is it a Jumbo or 36mm?
