Genuine 1680 dial on a eta 2836

[klocklind1]

How will the datewindow be aligned if I put a GENUINE 1680 DIAL on a swiss eta 2836-2 movement ?

Will the dates be perfectely centrered in the datewindow or ????

are you talking a stock 2836, or are you just replacing the dial in an existing 1680 rep?

I have not done this myself (so do not carve this in stone), but I am pretty certain the date will be slightly misaligned. It may only be .5mm, but I doubt it will align correctly since the movements are different.

I've done this on ETA2846 (same DW position as 2836) with a silver DW from the new PT/PC China 1680. The datewheel is too flush to the left, though all dates are legible it doesn't look very good off center.

And that is why a bought an MBK dial for your old watch I hope to have it installed presently.

Thanks a lot for the info

Is there not ANY question You could NOT answer ?

Then I will send my MBW 1680 dial for relume to The Zigmeister

Ps all the dates on my MBW 1680 is very nicely aligned in the datewindow and the "numbers" looks quite nice (exept for the "3" )
