ubiquitous Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yes. Not terribly difficult to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I got a Day-Date from Paul this week and I thought it would be an ETA 2834, but when I opened it up, it was a 2836. So over in China at the factory, they are taking the 2836 and modifying it so the day is at the top. A Datejust dial and a Day-Date dial should be the same size, but you need to check. I'm finding out that the rep dials and the gen dials don't match up alot of times. The rep dials are typically as much as a mm or so larger, but not always. If your swapping rep to rep, w/ dial feet in the same place, it should be easy, if the dials are the same size- diameter and date window location. If your going rep to gen or vice versa, it could be a whole nother matter. And gen feet don't match ETA feet. I bought a set of digital calipers from Harbor Freight last week and they sure are nice for measuring dials, etc. $19.99 plus tax. This week I saw them on sale for $15.99. Well worth it- especially for my old eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
