vlaletom Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Heya Once again i need some help from the experts. I am in the mood for finalizing an old project ... Wich need a 1575 GMT. Price are definitively too high on the bay (+ 2k$) While a plain 1575 can be found under 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I have found a good thread where part where listed for a 1530 project here In fredy333 topic about his 6542 project. Just to be clear - my 6542 project is based on the 1030, not the 1530, which uses a different set of GMT-related parts. As I have discovered, GMT conversion is not a simple process of swapping parts out (for starters, the 1030 was made with (at least) 3 different pillar plates). And, as I discovered, locating the missing GMT parts for these older movements (these parts are often not shared with other non-GMT watches of the same vintage, which leaves a very small gene pool from which to find spares) can be a frustrating experience with unavoidable dead ends & false starts. There are few shortcuts. You have to be VERY patient, aggressive & single-minded in your parts search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaletom Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 thanks for the precision freddy for sourcing the part. if i am correct on my suposition i can get brand new 1570.8037 & 1570.8040 for low dollar for the remaining ... i am not in a hurry, but i hope that part for the 1570 would be more wilddly available than for a 1030 but for now, i can't even confirm what is actually needed for such a project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent2 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Cannon pinion. I have the correct cannon pinion and would trade it to for a short one 2.23mm. and may be a lot of the other parts nos as i went the other way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaletom Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 hey kent Actually the canion pinion is one of the part i can get, but i would trade that pinion for shure if it could be usefull to you. hoever i think you need the short no calendar cannon pinion for rolex 1530 7889 2.23mm, if judge by your post in the "tools & part". The pinion i will have when i recive the 1575 will be for a "date" one. Also when you say "i went the other way", do you mean you had a gmt 1575 ? and need a no date, no gmt, plain 1530/70 then you would have all the part i need, or we could just trade the movement + some $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
