Building of a 1675 Cornino from a 1655

[boostin20]

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have an odd question. I was always under the assumption the dg2813 1655 would not fit a 2836 mov't. Someone is telling me otherwise. Is this the case with the 1655 ->1675 conversion or not? I have a 1675 with a beautiful dial and eta 2836 mov't that I want to swap into a nicer case. If it matters, the 1655 donor will be from Josh.

They are generally interchangeable when used with the correct movement ring. The REP makers generally do NOT make separate cases for the ETA versions or 21J versions.

Can someone please direct me to a 1655 on Josh's site. I have read that he has many listed, but I can't find one...only 1675s.

Thanks much!

I did the same thing the first time I went on his site; you just need to learn the navigation. Here you go-
