rolex 1601 question


Akira

Recommended Posts

Without a dial spacer ring it looks like the A2836-2 could fit the case. Stem and tube align pretty exact.

 

So the 2846 sounds reasonable. I can get them NOS from Switzerland at around $90 - which doesn't sound so bad right?

 

Anyone can chime in which are the best aftermarket DJ hands?

 

I've seen the one from Clarks and some other Ebay seller:

Also, what is the gen reference # of the plexi? 

 

Thanks in advance

As far as I know gen Tudor minute hands do have a longer "line" of lume and therefor look a bit different.

 

DW: buy a TC, would then look like a service one with closed 6 and 9s.

The original DW on a 1600 DJ would have been flat top 3s and open 6/9s. Most were in white and champagne, but I've seen some in silver where a white dial was used.

But I agree w/ 1680 on this, a TC Dw would be what you'd get if Rolex serviced your watch these days- or 15 years ago when they still serviced 1570 movts.

Hands, I'd just go for what's easiest for you, that being the EU sellers, right?

Thanks for the info guys.

The thing is my dial has quite a lot of patina. I'd like to relume the hands, also the gen case has some sign of wear too.

I'm using an old style 600 crown, so nothing looks like service but the DW...

Isn't there an old style DW available like I have on my 1675 with Dg movement.

Depending on how all out you want to go, and if you are open to DG2813 style movements...

 

A Yuki adapter or Stilty (if he is still around) ring with a few seconds of dremel work on the adapter + a "recent" batch of 21j's with passable font and proper distance for a GEN dial will drop right in.  (NO OVERLAY REQUIRED).

 

I have one of these movements if need be.
