LIBBY! Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just curious, Libby, which movement are you planning to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIBBY! Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share 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 Share 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Does anyone have the link to Eurotimez' flat-top 3 ETA datewheels? I cannot find them on his site. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
