lorenzo1910 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I'm new here... My name is Lorenzo and I live in Italy... A friend of mine would like to sell a gen Rolex 1501 without movement (as far as I know it should be fitted with a 1570) I have a simple question for you : is there any chance I could fit any rep movement (or any gen ETA) in that case? The watch has everything but the movement (Case,Bracelet,Dial,Hands,Crown,Bezel...) Anybody could help? Many thanks!

alligoat Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 You could fit an eta 2824-2 in there with a #2 movement ring from rafflestime, put a new set of hands on there for eta and a date wheel overlay and have a nice watch. You'll have to cut the dial feet off and attach the dial to the movement with glue or dial dots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo1910 Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Many thanks for your kind reply... I suppose that I should buy a new set of hands since the gen Rolex hands won't fit the ETA 2824-2, am I right? Am I going to find some other interface/physical issues as far as you know? What about the crown-to-movement interface? Does it need any adapter? Many thanks again for your support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks again for your support! you'll need the correct eta movement ring, eta hands, and an eta stem. the original rolex crown can fit on the eta stem.

lorenzo1910 Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Many thanks to you too! Now everything looks (much) clear to me (hope so) One more question (please be patient guys...) : "alligoat" has mentioned rafflestime hence I guess he's a trusted seller... anybody has any feedback of the part seller "raffles dials"? I need a Tudor Prince case for a side project (Yuki Watch shop looks off line at the moment...) or may you suggest a part seller that has Tudor (gen or rep) parts? Thank you...

Sogeha Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yes he joined our Trusted Dealers a few months ago, but I have bought from him quite a few times as have other guys. Sometimes, especially for parts one has to get them where one can. Only once did I have a problem ordering from Ken/Rafflestime. He shipped the wrong part and when I informed him and asked him what he would like me to do, he told me to keep the wrong part and sent me the correct part free of charge. Try www.yukiwatch.net, it worked for me just now. Yuki is not a TD here, but many of us have bought parts from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't asking for Raffles Time feedback (since he has been mentionet by alligoat I'm sure he's a Trusted Seller/Dealer) I was asking news/feedback for "Raffles Dial" (guess has no relation with Raffles Time...) Thank you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 PM me a website. I have a feeling it is the same company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think rafflestime and rafflesdials are the same person- Ken. But I haven't ordered from rafflesdials yet but probably will in the near future- he's got some good prices on cases and dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think they are the same as well, but not sure, so I sent Ken a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
