alterego Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I guess I pretty much asked my question in the topic description above. I'm working in a Motecarlo project and I don't want to canivalize the Zodiac chrono that was originaally going to be the movement donor. I wonder if someone would know if the Poljoyt chrono movement that powered the Rusdian cosmonauts' watches would fit a Montecarlo DW case. Hope someone kwnows. Otherwise I'll have to try and see ...

lhooq Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 It does not. Despite a similar appearance, the dimensions of the 3133 are very different from the 7734's. Please see this comparison on WUS. However, I do remember someone making a Poljot-powered Monte Carlo using a deeper Tudor Big Block case. I wish I could find the relevant post.

alterego Posted July 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 What a wealth of inforrmation in the the link you include in your answer. I guess if that post with the details about what case was used for building the Montecarlos with Rusian engines, It may be worth trying. I saw several Poljot chrono adds for sale in internet and most of them were quite affordable, commpared to the $ 350/$600 range for a Valjoux 7734 powered watch availoable in the net. Thank you again for the great information you shared. Best regards. Jaime What a wealth of information in the post you W It does not.

lhooq Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Is that a rep then? Yes, and not a particularly good-looking rep. The dial is terrible, and bears a strong resemblance to Yuki's 7032 dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Er can someone post the link? I can't seem to identify the watch in question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sure. It's item #320746431376. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Yup. That's the one. The price is a bit high for what it is, but I guess it will cover the parts cost. @ LHOOQ: I thought the same thing. But maybe the lighting could be better.
