irolexu Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have a Franken DJ with a tired ETA. Everything is basically gen minus the movement and hands and Clark's Xstal. Seems like the new 3135 is becoming a favorable piece on the forums and I know this case is designed for the 1570 but I would love to be able to slap a 3135 in there and call it a day. my guess I'd it won't work but thought id ask any ways!

yellomen Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 If i'm correct the 16000 series DJ used the 3135 movement So again... IF i'm correct it should be a perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I thought it used a 1570?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Actually a 16000 DJ takes the 3035 Rolex movement. A 1600 takes the 1570 and a 16200 takes the 3135. It might be cheaper in the long run to just have your eta serviced- if it's a 2836-2, that's the best movement for the 16000 case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiser Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Reviving this topic, I just picked up an SA3135 movement and (sadly) have found that it does not fit a datejust case. It appears to be too wide. For reference, I have three gen cases including 1601, 16030 and 16233 and tried the movement in all but it doesn't fit. Just wondering if anyone else has had success getting this movement into a gen DJ case and is this is an issue with all gen cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 The SA3135 is too thick. I tried squeezing it into a ST3035 case for my 16800 build and the retaining screws would not clear. I didn't think it would but I tried anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Shame. The case can be modded though to take it if you don't mind grinding the sides a little wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
