kidcreole Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi folks I'm thinking of putting up an offer for this 1570 GMT. Can anyone who is familiar with these movements identify what is missing or broken besides the date wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogladio Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 See that it's listed for 2500 AUD, I'd try to get it below 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I see no GMT parts on this movement. You might get skinned. Here is most of what is needed to convert a 1565/75 to a 1565/75 gmt:#8038 - center second pinion 5.70mm#8037 - Cannon Pinion 3.39mm#8039 - hour wheel with double tooth 2.44mm#8040 - 24hr wheel 1.41mm#8035 - Calendar Wheel nut#8036 - Date Jumper#8006 - Yoke for cam#8008 - spring for cam yoke#8011 - stud for cam#8030 - Center wheel with Cannon Pinion#8034 - Calendar Wheel#8011 - Stud for Cam#7965 - calendar spacerQ...What is hard to find?A...All of it.Q...What is almost impossible to find?A...#7965 - calendar spacer#8034 - Calendar Wheel#8039 - hour wheel with double tooth 2.44mm7965 usually goes from $200 to $5008034 usually $200 to $4008039 usually $200 or so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Sadly in my limited experience, when I bought something with the idea that it' was a bargain, and then find that a "Few Parts" were missing, It usually ended up costing a lot more in the long run and a huge increase in the frustration quotient. Better to pay more and get the complete movement, save yourself money and grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Ditto panerai153. Anyone who followed my Phase II 6542 travails knows what a long, winding & (unexpectedly) expensive road finding a handful of small parts for vintage Rolex calibres can turn out to be. But if you have more time/money than sense or have the (financial) ability to plant a forest to find a few special trees, it might be worth it in the end.

kidcreole Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks for your feedback all. The seller was good to me in the past but has been coy on this one. I'll be giving it a miss at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
