What about the movement problem now?

Also wanted to comment on the cubic-works datewheel - I really think that the slightly larger fonts on the overlay are not really/barely noticable - I think it lines up pretty nicely in the window and behind the mag...

All in all the quest for this watch was quite a fun experience..

[Heywood]

I went down to the city and watchbuff taught me how to replace the stems...The stem is working great now, no problems setting the time/date - It's absolutely perfect !

Congratulations to both of you on a fine job. That's a great looking watch!

[bscblue]

This watch looks exceptional. Smart money! Just what do you think was the total cost for everything you did? Can you break it down?

[UB7]

Thanks blue!

Anyone looking to have their DJ asssembled PM me. I am finishing up some long overdue work on the bench and will be available an a week.

For a reference, take a look at UB7's DJ. It's my latest work.

@Watchbuff

Hey,

I see rollings 16234 (18k wg) cases... the dials look old & dark partly, is this the case in reality?

[Justasgood]

Just got this back from watchbuff this morning, and he did a phenominal job! Much kudos to him, if anyone needs a frankenjust done, hes definitly the go-to guy. Stupid me got all excited when I was setting the time and date, I pulled it out to hack set and snapped the stem in half SO i figured i'd post some good quality pics before I send it back to watchbuff tommorow to replace the stem..

Everything on here is gen, except the bracelet which is an aftermarket jubilee..He swapped the clasp from my oyster band to this and it looks great!! Movement is a 2824-2 ..

What do you guys think?

Wow! Very clean........enjoy it........once it's fixed.

[UB7]

Thanks justas! Its been fixed for a week now and the thing seems to be glued to my wrist im having a hard time taking it off..Definitely a new favorite of mine! Heres a repost of a pic of the finished product, ill try and get some new pics soon

[Guest watchbuff]

Wear it in good health. I am going to Bell Textron in December for a week, I will take a stab at a Rolex AD for A DJ.

[UB7]

Out of curiousity, why not buy 1 @ a local AD? Or NYC? Lower prices?

[Guest watchbuff]

NYC is wayyyyyyyyyy too expensive. I know a dealer I get at near cost.

[Guest PEGLEG]

I have been serching this forum and found this most interesting. UB7 How happy are you with the end product? I don't think I can build it myself.

I Love your DJ, just what i am looking for. I have seen a 2836-2 movement and is that the corect size I will need>? Please message me your info.
