preacher62 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I know that someone here has done this. He does not list the 1601 case on his site, but rather the dive style cases. It seems that if it will convert a 1570 case to an ETA 2824 that it should work in any case in which there was a 1570. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 So you're thinking this ring would fit your 2824 into a 1601 case? http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/7518423/7999848.htm I just read online that a 1570 movement is around 28.45mm, so you might ask Yuki what the OD of this ring is. ID will fit a 2824 so that shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) @Ali...thanks much for your reply. I see what you are saying. I posted my question here as it was not intuitively obvious as to how one asks Yuki a question. Didn't find a "contact us" tab or anything of the type. Do you know how to contact him? Thanks, again!

LeSentier Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 "Yukis Enlargement Ring"..... First, I thought that has nothing to do with watches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Try sale@yukiwatch.com! I asked him what the OD was, I'm interested also. Could use it for my 1601/1016 Explorer I project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 "Yukis Enlargement Ring"..... First, I thought that has nothing to do with watches... Yes ... same here. Don't use the metal Yuki ring until you know how your body will react to it. Start with the velcro model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could use it for my 1601/1016 Explorer I project. I will and will post the results. Thanks! BTW...jeorg and jkay, RWG is about watches. You seem to have taken a wrong turn somewhere. We use "enlargement rings" also...just for a different purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yuki said the OD was 28.4mm. I'm thinking this ought to work in the 1601 case since the 1570 movt is around 28.45mm from what I can gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I just ran across the ring at raffles-time http://cgi.ebay.com/Movement-Ring-ETA-2824-2836-others-Size-2-/160521091253?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item255fcd78b5 It looks like it will do the same thing as the Yuki ring for a lot less!

jmb Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Preacher, grab one of those and I'll hold off making one unless the $1 ring doesn't work! No way I can compete with that price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
