LIBBY! Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Got most of the parts for a 1500 build (just need a movement spacer and datewheel), anyone up for it or know someone who might be?
rosnik Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 You have simply to find one good wotchmaker in your area.
alligoat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Just curious, Libby, which movement are you planning to use?
LIBBY! Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Posted November 17, 2009 Just curious, Libby, which movement are you planning to use? I have a few ETA's (2684??) here, they should work.
alligoat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Interesting. I've got a spare case- might swap out for a no cyclops crystal and build an Explorer I. Eurotimez has the datewheel for the Red Subs, w/ the flat top 3's and open 6's and 9's- correct for the 1500 Date also- $20 plus s&h. Have you tried the cheap plastic spacer rings from the cheap reps- one of those might work. Like Rosnik, I take my stuff to my watchmaker- he's built my two DJ's and my 16800 franken.
rosnik Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 In 1500 case.....I'm sure 2836-2 fit. With my 1500 Domenico get this for my girlfriend.
rosnik Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 he's built my two DJ's and my 16800 franken. Franken 16800 ???? I want to see it!!! Do you posted on RWG ? About Eplorer I, I prefere 20mm lugholes case....
alligoat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Cool! Thanks, Rosnik. I posted the 16800 about 1-1/2 years ago here. Since then my computer crashed and I lost the pics. Omega drilled lugholes in a noob case. Took a Ziggy relumed 16800 matte dial, glued it to a 2834-2 w/ old style date wheel, gen crown and tube and put it all together w/ a 93150 and 593 ends. Stephane was my inspiration- he put a gen dial in a noob case first, as I recall.

I'm no watchmaker, just a parts piler who has some stuff here for a build.. I do have a 2836 here too...
rosnik Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 assembler? When you got all pieces. If you are in USA contack Zigmaister. if you are in EU zone , you can contact Domenico ( Briciola ). @aligoat: I'm jealous!!
ubiquitous Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 For a 1500, you need a 2846 to properly align the stem with the tube; this particular movement gets you the slow beat as well (2836 would work, but the beat rate is too high at 28800; 2846 is a little high as well at 21600, but much closer to the 1570's 19800bph). If you can get your hands on one of Stilty's rings, it would definitely make this project a lot easier. You will also need one of Eurotimez' flat top 3 datewheels, and it would also be wise to have the hour, min and sec pinions swapped out for the taller gears to clear the high profile indicies that Rolex likes to use on their Date, DateJust and DD dials
freddy333 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Does anyone have the link to Eurotimez' flat-top 3 ETA datewheels? I cannot find them on his site. TIA
rosnik Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 EUROTIMEZ homepage: let the XLM page finish to charge. than: - New 2009 ------> MBK_RLX_1-1_DW
freddy333 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Thanks, rosnik. I found that, but there are only 2 pics - no order link or page containing price/ordering info. I thought there was a page to order these from?
rosnik Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 No, I do not find extra picture too. I'll wait for picture from some guy on RWG that bought it.
LIBBY! Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Posted November 19, 2009 Can these be purchased? I need two!!!!

LIBBY! Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Posted November 20, 2009 Email Eurotimez. They're like $20 each. Are these real wheels, or just overlays?
eurotimezhelina Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Hi Libby These are date-wheel overlays and they are 20 usd each. Contact us if you want to order these as we do not have them in our web-store (yet, we are going to update it soon). Just send us a mail specifying what you want, how you want to pay and have it shipped and we will help you make the order. info@EuroTimez88.com
