lionsandtigers Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Even though it comes without a date disc, this seems like a pretty great deal. I would imagine this movement could drop right in for a non date vintage model. Just thought I would share Check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Pictures are a bit fuzzy I have always been advised to purchase an entire watch rather than a lose movement proceed with caution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 You can purchase a separate movement as long as the seller has a lengthy track record (of selling vintage Rolex) with near perfect buyer ratings. 98.7% does not install confidence, especially when accompanied by fuzzy pics.

lionsandtigers Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 valid points. just wanted to expose the deal if anyone wanted to try their luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Always a gamble, but that seems like a pretty good deal. Wonder how much work it would be to fit into my MBW 5513 case? I'm actually building a 5512. I have everything ready to go but for a movement. I was going to try to find a 2846, but this is interesting.

Seacraft Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Look through the bad ratings and you'll see a few that have to deal with movements. Tough call, great price. If you can go dateless you may have a winner. Pay with PayPal and you may have some recourse if things go wrong. Caveat emptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 something like that would make me wonder...why is the date mechanism missing? And the condition of that rotor is rough which makes you wonder if the rotor axel is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 "something like that would make me wonder...why is the date mechanism missing?" It has no date parts at all, no spacer, no nothing...may be a no date movement. "And the condition of that rotor is rough which makes you wonder if the rotor axel is ok." I see a lot of rotors like this. Maybe blistered from harsh cleaning fluid but the rest of the movement looks Ok. If it was rusty the set bridge etc would be the first to go and it looks good. Rotor axles are only $10 or $12 but the old one has to be cut out from the top in a lathe (cut the cap off) and not knocked out from the bottom side like jiffy lube repair guys do it. The movement will part out for close to $1000 because as rolex says "No Parts For You!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woof* Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Wasn't me, I'm not really ready yet. A couple months ago I was though, and everytime I found one to consider..someone grabbed it.
