klocklind1 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 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 ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 are you talking a stock 2836, or are you just replacing the dial in an existing 1680 rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
