[Tribal]

Hello guys,

here is an other project to become my 1680 more like gen...

This is an As 1916 movement and a Gen silver Datewheel....

its a 17 jewel movement with 21000 Bph and quickset by pushing the stem....

I don`t know how to release the winding stem,so its not installed yet....

here are some pics...

Need some work on the hands......

Show a picture of the stem area......it's probably a small set screw.

Just read - it'sa 11.5 Ligne movement which should drop in directly. What makes me worry is the height. 5.95mm versus 5.05 mm of teh 2836-2 - that'sa nice difference. Did you turn down the rehaut?

Hi Olli

I found a small screw to release the stem....

But you are right with the height of the movement,thats a new problem

I won`t grind down the rehaut,it is not worth...

Maybe i find a other way,the installed datewheel is damm thick...

I think to grind it down a little bit,i give it a try....

I see that the original datewheel has a rather wide clearance from the base plate. So - if you would grind down the AS datewheel to mae it sit almost flush with the basepalte, you have better chances fitting the gen datewheel on top - by grinding it down too. You can come by the higher movement with a smaller height on the datewheel sandwich construction. This will give you at max 0.3-0.4mm compared to 2836-2 equipped with fat spacer ring. There is still a lot missing here. My bet would be the dial if you won't go for teh rehaut. Rehaut down-turning is the best solution - second would be grinding the dial base down to the half.

Yepp you are right,but i think finding an AS 1903 is the better solution,let the hunt begin...
