ubiquitous Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 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: Cheers, Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolexlover Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Very nice work and pictures. Does the genuine dial feet fit the 2836? I guess you have to cut them and glue the dial ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 W, and Ruo- Thanks much Very nice work and pictures. Does the genuine dial feet fit the 2836? I guess you have to cut them and glue the dial ??? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
