panermaniac Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Okay, please go easy on me if this is a totally ridiculous question but here goes... Is it possible to but a "normal" right handed movement into a destro case set? Is there an "top" side and a "bottom" side of the case? Are they symmetrical or is the crown tube located in a slightly different postion? I'm thinking that it's not possible, but I'd like to know why. Thanks in advance for not busting my balls, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Normally the only difference is the the dial feet position and if it has. A date wheel then the date wheel will be different but is I know what watch you were talking about then I could say more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Short answer = Yes, on a non-complicated/no-date model like a 112/176. You will need to cut off the dial feet to rotate it 180' and use adhesive/dial-dots to re-affix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panermaniac Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thank you both for your help.. I appreciate it. You're right, I should have given an example of what i was thinking. Okay, how about this scenario.. If I buy a 111M and a 026k, would it be possible to switch ONLY the movements and have a DLC 111 and a stainless 026? All I'm talking about is taking out the movements, turning the cases top to bottom and re-installing the movements (but in the other's case). Does that make sense? The CGs would also have to be flipped so they close in the up position. Is this possible? Thanks again, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Possible but wouldnt advise you to do so as the 26's CG is a destro and would look wrong the other way round as would the 111's . The CG is curved on the upper part and the bottom is flat Better of with a 360 and a 22 or 219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
