The birth of a Franken Pt. I

Yes , the rolex 3035 movement is a bit over 6mm high ...as compared to the 4.6mm high 2824-2 .... so the case tube location on the original rolex case 16013 ... has to be around .60 mm higher than the stem location on the 2824 movement ...so, the movement needs to lifted that amount or close to...only way is to space the dial ...then you need a taller CP ..only way ... thats true ...Thank you

Depending on the movement model, some turn the wrong way.
