gplracer Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I have seen people ask but it has never really been answered. Is it possible to purchase a yukiwatch 1680 that is made for a rolex movement and put an eta with a spacer in it? I know the crown position is high but I thought it might be possible to get a thinner eta movement and make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the crown position is high but I thought it might be possible to get a thinner eta movement and make it work. I have been ask this question to yuki. She said it is possible to do something. They will go to product the converter for ETA 2824-2 can fit for rolex 1570 movement case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilty Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 yes it is possible, and fairly easy. I have movement holders for ETA to fit in Rolex cases. They were machined for 3035 case, and require a slight modification to the top, as the 1570 has a smaller dial seat ring, and my holders were modelled after the 3035 which has a larger diameter dial seat ring. My holders accept either 2824-2, 2836-2, and slow beat 2846. I had an ETA 2846 in my Yuki case before I installed a 1570. Also, I had one Yuki case that accepted my holder without modification. Guess it depends on what case they send you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Well this is good news. Eventually I would like to start a 1680 project. I think a Yuki case, eta movement is a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakerai Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well this is good news. Eventually I would like to start a 1680 project. I think a Yuki case, eta movement is a good starting point. Hello everyone. This is my first post, I hope to do a good question. It would be possible to make a snowflake with Yuki 1680 case and 2824-2 or 2484 Eta movement. Of course except caseback, this is another history.

panerai153 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 @fakerai Probably you would get better responses if you start a new topic with this question. That is and interesting question, and as stilty mentioned you can get spacer rings to fit the ETA movements to the case, I would guess all you would change is the dial to a Tudor Dial, and caseback.genuine Snowflake hands will fit ETA's, so only problem would be getting genuine. Maybe a lot more to it than this, so it would be better to hear from one of the real Rolex experts on the forum. Welcome Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
