ldegeneve Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I received this from the legend himself, jmb. However, I am a sucker for low-beat. Can anyone help out? I've looked at the 2789 and 2542, but I'm not sure if those would work... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 2879 is low beat, and not incobolic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypunch Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 You could try a 2472. It should fit like a glove the only problem is that it has a different second hand size. But for that watch i'd recommend a 2783 (It's what I have in my 1016). It beats at 21,600 bph, fits the case, and uses the exact same hands as a 2824.

ldegeneve Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thank you sir! This is very useful information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 ETA 2846 should be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 A 2846 has a different stem height (same as a 2836) so it may or may not work in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 2846 will not work as this particular case is specifically for movements with the stem height of the 2824. If you want low-beat then you'll need a 2783 as previously mentioned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hey jmb, do you happen to know if a 2783 will swap datewheels with a 2824? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 All 2824s are high-beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ok Im confused are we talking 21.6k or 28k because I've heard people refer to both as high beat. What are you looking for. 21.6k is high beat compared to 18k True All 2824 movements are going to be 28.8kbph unless someone did something funky to it once upon a time. Usually here at the Rolex subforum when we say "low-beat" we mean 21.6kbph, we don't see many 18k movements here. Over at the Panerai forum it's different. (Also, we usually mean 21.6 but sometimes mean 19.8 since a lot of the older Rolex movements like the 15xx beat at that rate--clear as mud, right?)

mymanmatt Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 2824 is high beat. That means 28,800 bph, beats per hour, Everything lower than that is considered low beat. It could be 25,200 21600 19800 etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 2824 is high beat. That means 28,800 bph, beats per hour Unless it means 36,000 bph. "High beat" and "low beat" are relative, not absolute, terms. And often you'll see 21,6 called "high beat" when compared to 18kpbh movements.

jmb Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey jmb, do you happen to know if a 2783 will swap datewheels with a 2824? I think they are different, IIRC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 All 2824s are high-beat. +100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yes of course, 36,000 bph is what I call "very high beat" on self destruct mode LOL, but very smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
