db1 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, i would like to know if an Seagull ST-25 movement could fit inside a rolex submariner case? it's a pretty nice movement, and pretty cheap as well (around $90 when you find them). but as much as i remember- it's pretty damn thick ! maybe even too thick for a breitling superocean case! what do you guys think? any help will be much appreciated..

emuozz Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Those are the same measures of the eta 2892 than it’s a slim movement,also I think you would need something like this but for the 2892 … which one it’s the seagull st 25, Because I have in my memory than the 2824 clone it’s the st-24 and the 2892 clone it’s the st-26 and for the size that you put it appears to be a copy of the 2892 Edited July 28, 2008 by emuozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By submariner, I assume you mean a rep case. You can consider the ST-25 a 2892 from a size perspective. From what I've read here on RWG (and you can search the archives to confirm), those who have done 2824 -> 2892 swaps in the past have done so with success, and without needing specialized spacers to get crown stems to line up. I guess the only question would be whether or not the canon pin, hour wheel, etc on the ST-25 that you'd receive would be of the correct height to provide adequate clearance over the dial since dial thickness vary. For ETA, there are usually 3 or more options there. For Seagul, I have no idea how many there are or how easy they are to obtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajoesmith Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Why bother? Put in a DG4813, cheaper easier and if its breaks n future just replace it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
