polexpete Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 I just received this watch for its 2846 movement which i gonna use in a vintage Rolex project .... But check out the datewheel. Is that a Breitling datewheel for a Seawolf ? I'm pretty sure its the same font and that it will fit in a 2836-2 movement ... Looks like Swatch used them too Cheers P.
hackR Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 yup...it's the same...wearing my old skool ti Seawolf today and its definitely the same...
polexpete Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 Cool thanks Rob.. can you check the 1's on the teen numbers. Do the Breitlings have a tail like the 11 and 1 ..? Cheers P.
hackR Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 hey Pete...yes - the "1" and "11" have tails...the date wheel you have above is identical on all numbers with my Seawolf...the old skool ti seawolf has a gen eta - a 2824-2, if i recall right...
chiman12 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I think it was a common font for older ETA's because I have 4 spare date wheels with your font. But good eye P! Time to change out my date wheel on my SOSF!
xelorrolex Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 Is there anybody here who can tell me where I can find a accurate datewheel for my swiss 7750 BCE ? Thanks Xel
bwhitesox Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Xel you need a Lello datewheel which are pretty rare to find these days or grab a junker Breitling that sometimes appear in the for sale section and just use the datewheel.
xelorrolex Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks Sox ! Do you think the DW of the Ultimate asian 7750 BCE would fit ?
polexpete Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Posted February 1, 2012 Which model Swatch is that? No idea, all i wanted was a 2846 movement .... Cheers P.
