alligoat Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Very nice. Like the pie pan dial. And the vintage jubilee bracelet. Which movement did you use?
alligoat Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 "Tailor made hour wheel and cannon pinion" Does that mean taller so it will clear the hour markers? Actually, it's the minute hand that has to clear, right? Date overlay- is that with flat-top 3's or round top 3's? I've seen both on vintage Datejusts and Dates- Rolex wasn't always that consistent back in the 60's and 70's.
w.genzo Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 In vintages 160xx DJ I've only seen round 3 open 6 and 9 date font, not sure on 16xx series
Star69 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 nice !! and welcome pm me if you want to get rid of it Frank
lazarini Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Nice one congrats and welcome to the forums regards Laz
southcoast68 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Nice job!! I always liked the pie pan dial versions, welcome. I have a question on the hour wheel and cannon pinion, are those parts available from ETA as stock from Borel or Ofrei and are they difficult / easy to install. I have a couple franken justs with the hands slightly bent to clear, and I'd like to get back into them to do the job properly at some point. Thanks
freddy333 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Now that is a fine piece of work. But, then, I am easy when it comes to vintage steel Datejusts. Welcome aboard.
w.genzo Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I wish my first post was one like that.. The datewheel looks gen, is it a 3055 dw?
Guest porsche356a Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Very nice project! Welcome to the forums Movement is a factory new ETA 2836-2 with tailor made hour wheel and cannon pinion. Seconds pinion was long enough. 1:1 date overlay used.
w.genzo Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 The datewheel overlay is not gen, sorry - but I believe it is an 1:1 reprint. I know, a gen turns in the opposite way. I asked because overlay open 6 and 9 date font are very rare.. I was luky to find one a few months ago. Great find
Dizzy Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 very nice!! A gen 1603 was my first gen ROlex ever!! Its the ONLY datejust that i life and would wear beautiful watch!! dizz
