Project 16234 Datejust

[ubiquitous]

Had some free time today, so I spent a few minutes putting my DateJust frankenstein together. Still ironing out some issues with the watch; the movement needs to be serviced, and I need a new stem for it as well. But for now, here's what I've got:

*Genuine 16234 DateJust case

*Genuine dial

*Genuine WG fluted bezel

*Genuine crystal

*Genuine tube

*Genuine 6mm crown (needs to be replaced)

*ETA 2836-2

*Datewheel overlay

*Tudor Oyster Prince hands

*Aftermarket Jubilee bracelet/endlinks

*Replica clasp :comp2:

Here's what I started with- $400 worth of parts:

Add a run of the mill 2836:

And you get this:

Very nice work and pictures.

Does the genuine dial feet fit the 2836? I guess you have to cut them and glue the dial ???

[ubiquitous]

W, and Ruo- Thanks much

Very nice work and pictures.

Thank you, thank you!

With regards to fitting the genuine dial- The dial feet do need to be trimmed off, and the dial itself is then fixed to the movement ring (I use a very small amount of adhesive to do this).

As of late, I've encountered some issues with this watch- I'm going to need to pull it apart to try to figure out what's going on

Very nice. The parts only ran you $400?

[ubiquitous]

Tallguy-

The case, bezel, tube, crown, crystal and dial were $400. The movement, bracelet, hands and other misc. parts were in addition to that cost.
