Are you sure it's not the 2842, same as in my Tudor? http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=12382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1973 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Would be a great update. The 28.800 bph screaming >FAKE< pretty loud... Love the ticks of my 1603 with 1575 movement - one of rolex´ best movements ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend has a new 1680 Whitescribe with this movement... In meantime i'm collecting parts to mod it... I make a tutorial of the wach when it is in my hands...

ubiquitous Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 This is a great upgrade to the vintage pieces... I also installed a 2846 into my MBW 1665 earlier this year. For the money, it's an excellent improvement that gets the beat closer to genuine (though still off by a very small amount; 21600bph for the ETA vs 19800bph for the 1570)... Anyhow... A link to my old post, with comparison videos... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
