Rolex date 15000 and 1500 dial size

[Mark_zijn]

I recently bought got a gen rolex date 15000 case set, it came with everything except a dial, dut im wondering if a dial from a 1500 date will fit, so i can expand my search. 

 

Also, is the hand length the same as a datejust?

 

thanks!

Same OD, different dial foot location.

 

1530 base dials:

OPD  26.9mm 

AK  27.0mm

Slow set DJ dials are easy to spot with 'pie pan' shape.

Dial feet approx.  30m and 54m

 

A 1575 slow set date movement/dial will work in a 15000 case but not a 15200 case.

Movement/dial from a 15200 case will not work in a 15000 case.

 

30xx/31xx dials are interchangeable.

OPD  26.9mm

DJ  27.85mm

Dial feet approx.  13m and 37m

 

Newer oversize DJ...the dial feet and date are farther from center.

 

 

"Also, is the hand length the same as a datejust?"

 

From the factory, no.

Aftmkt, probably yes.  Most aftmkt dress hands for eta/tudor are made for 34mm or 36mm cases.  They may be the same hands.

Hand length is measured from the center of the hole to the tip of the long end.  Center hole sizes are in mm...a #130 hand hole is 1.3mm.  A #25 sweep sec hand hole is .25mm.

Thank you for the info...

Let me guess...

OPD = Oyster Perpetual Date

AK = Air King

DJ = Date Just

 

Am I right?

"Am I right?"

 

Yep.

Wow! Thanks for the info! 

 

I probably have to cut the dial feet anyway to make it fit a ETA

I have that dial in silver and blk. If it helps.
