chaussettevelo Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hello everybody, I'm a French man, living next to Saint-Malo (Britany). I have a 16520 case (N serial), without the movement. I have bought a Zenith el primero 3019 phc movement to place into my case but it doesn't fit perfecly into. The two pushers chronograph don't fit with the pushers case. Is a Ebel 134 movement could fit perfectly inside my rolex case? Thank you very much.

HauteHippie Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hmmm the 3019 should fit. Ubi has a gen case with the Ebel version, which I also have in my phong case. And as memory serves, el primero 400 = 3019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaussettevelo Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes, I have always read 3019=400 but it's a really thing, my pushers don't fit perfectly with the puschers of my movement (3019) ,and it's a Rolex case. I don't understand anything. Thanks to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have to agree with the others. That case is the problem, not the movement. Hope you didn't get scammed on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaussettevelo Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 What do you think about this case for replacement of my "fake case" please? http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200646380707&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_723wt_642 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Bonjour de France, Stephane To be clear, there is only 5 ways to have good cases here : cartel dealers (Josh, Andrew, etc.), DW, Yuki, NDT, or Phong. I think you should consider buying a Phong's case kit if you have money, and if you do not want to bother about movement fitting. NDTrading is also selling a case, but it's IMO a bad case, like I said in another thread. I don't think DW or Yuki selling 16520 cases. And cartel do not provide any El Primero-based cases... So... I think the Phong choice is your only easy way to have a correct case : http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/ Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong Movement who are not fitting is a common problem when you are making a Rolex rep with El Primero or Valjoux 72x. Especially with El Primero, if I trust what I seen before The case you have here on eBay is a 7750 case. I guess your current case is also a 7750 case. This will never fit an El Primero R.

chaussettevelo Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Many thanks Valty. And many thanks to everybody answers to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaussettevelo Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 But why the 7750 case doesn't fit with zenith 3019? These movements have the same size caliber (13 1/4) Is it the pushers doesn't fit again? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Height for one is very different, an El Primero is 6.5mm, while a Valjoux 7750 is 8.1mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Height is an important problem? Yes. The movement and dial have to sit at a certain level in the case for proper rehaut and the crown and pushers then have to line up with the case as well.

ubiquitous Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Stem height is crucial for this particular project. If the stem is not center inside the case tube (i.e. the stem is too high/too low) the stem is going to snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the stem is not center inside the case tube (i.e. the stem is too high/too low) the stem is going to snap. Yup. I just broke 4 stems this weekend, trying to cheat this truth on a project I dunno why I kept thinking "maybe this time it'll work!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
