5512 Movement

[sly]

Hi Guys,

Anybody know if the 1570 is the appropiate movement for the 5512. I have a 1570 no date movement and know someone who is selling me a service dial and hands. Let me know.

Thanks

Sly

Yes. 5512 came with 1 of these - 1530, 1560 or 1570 (which movement depends on date of manufacture).

Thanks Freddy, do you have an idea on what years the 1570 was fitted or does it vary.

[freddy333]

Rolex does not release that type of info, but I believe the 1530 was the 1st movement fitted (1959 until around 1962 or so). The 1560 was also used (more or less interchangeably with the 1530) until about the early-mid 1960s & I believe the 1570 was used from the mid-1960s until the end of the series (1978-ish).

Thanks Again, So I can base this build on a 1974 5512/1570 movement.

That is the movement to use if you are building a mid-70s 5512.

Freddy or other experts. One more question. Yuki site says 5512 case fits 1520/1530, Will a 1570 drop in also on the yuki case.

Thanks,

Sly

Yuki site says 5512 case fits 1520/1530, Will a 1570 drop in also on the yuki case.

Unless someone else here has direct experience fitting movements other than what is specified, I would direct that type of question to Yuki. That said, I can tell you that both the 1520 & 1570 are based on the 1530 & all 3 calibers' measure 28.5mm x 5.75mm, so, in theory, they should be interchangeable in a properly proportioned case. However, I do not know if there are differences in stem & other component alignments.

Thanks again, I will email yuki
