Building A Franken Datejust...

Recommended Posts

Well, I'm not an expert at all on building watches or touching movements, but after buying the datejust 15000 originally from repaustria, I decided to try to build a datejust two tone, and I've just got (won) at ebay a genuine 16013 case with dial and plastic crystal.

Update on Dec 7th: pics of the case, crystal and dial.

Hmmmm... Aside from color, the crown in the auction is correct for a DJ- 6mm Twinlock. For a 16013, you'll want an SS crown, not 18k.

As for movements... In my opinion, color makes no difference as long as the movement is a true ETA. With proper servicing, either color runs fine.

Ubi... the 16013 is a two tone datejust, so I guess the crown must be gold... isn't? Also the date overlay with a gold background also... BTW, any idea where to find date overlays with rolex font for ETA 2824? Thanks.
