bristolmarc Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi everyone I need help with my oysterquartz 17000 franken project. I have managed to collect an original case and strap over the last couple of months and have put together a miyota quartz movement with a replica face. As you will see from the picture I am rubbish at this! Dial is misaligned and at an angle to the case, incorrect hand set, date wheel position does not match the dial date aperture (although would match the orignal oysterquartz dial) What I am looking for is someone (preferably in the UK) who has the necessary skill to implant a movement, quartz or auto, in to this case to finish the project properly! Any ideas for anyone trust worthy who can do this for a sensible price would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypunch Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'd look for an Oysterquartz dial first and foremost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Actually, they also made some automatics in this style case as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypunch Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 That is a route to consider. Would a 2824 or 2836 fit that case though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolmarc Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes the automatic is a good option although the dials are different as the auto version has an additional ring. The proper dial diameter is 28.5mm but a normal datejust movement should fit! I am just a bit useless at the practical side! I am lucky enough to own one of JMB's oyster quartz projects and it is fitted with an eta with standard datejust dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolmarc Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just a though if anyone has a one of the old terrible quartz datejust replicas that they want to sell...please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
