Watchmeister Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Does anyone know which Rolex movement is closest in height to an ETA 2824. Asking for a contemplated project. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 From personal experience, a 2824 will exchange with a 1520... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Is the 1520 slimmer than the 1530/1560/1570. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 That is correct as it lacks the calendar mech/ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The 2824 and the 3135 are also very close in stem position. WM9/BK uses the 2824 in the YM, 16610LV and the V3 sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Warren! Do a little research lazybones This site ---> http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk&& is VERY useful when planning mods!!

What would be great is if something like this was expanded to include: 1.) Hand sizes 2.) Subdial spacing (center subdials to center H/M/S) 3.) Stem height We need a wiki/db. Hand size is my #1 would be nice to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
