Ephry73 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Has anyone purchased one of these? I am curious about the window size. I have been looking at either the 1680 in white or their 1665. ANy comparison pictures will be greatly appreciated. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexaddict Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Are you talking about these rings which suppose to adapt a Rolex dial on a ETA without cut the dial feet ? no way, and it makes no sense, use a regular brass ring from a rep, and cut dial feet as usual, you will save money ans hassle I have made some experiments : Rolex movements are 13 1/2 lines, will fit without difficulties inside the worse Canal Street pot metal Rolex case, ETA movements are 11 1/2 lines, will fit without difficulties inside a gen or the worse Yuki case, using the rep brass ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 I mean the actual dials. The date windows just seem small(6:9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 They are positioned for eta movements. So it works with an original eta datewheel. You will alsno need a crystal with cyclops further from center. All in all not wat you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 do you mean the rings that allow an ETA to be used in a case for a gen rolex movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 No, I mean the actual dials. Not the adaptor ring, the actual DIALS. The date window looks small, so I wanted to know if anyone had purchased these dials to see if the date window is indeed an ETA date window.

Rolexaddict Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 sorry Ephry, I didn't read well, or to fast, (as usual... ) you question, About Yuki dials date window, I think the same. Something is vrong, I will say : imho, not small, but misaligned. Or probably both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 No worries addict. We all do that. I am curious because for a quick modest build, the kit wouldn't be bad, but from their pictures the date windows look small, as in eta display small.

SportsterRider Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 From the sound/look of it, the date window on these dials is designed to work with a stock ETA movment - I.E. no DW overlay. So ya, the window will not only be smaller, it will also be positioned closer to the crown requiring a crystal with a cyclops closer to the crown.
