l3x Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 How's it going everyone Is the Molnija 3602 and Cortebert 616 the same size / dimension? If I had a molnija 3602 watch can I do a direct swap of movements without modifications? Thnx ~lex
rmcsherry Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I think the physical dimensions are very close - however, the problem you'll face is with the winding stem (the Molnija one is different, so the pocket watch one will need to be resized and probably tapped) and hour wheel (the hour wheel is fairly short on most 3602's, so you'll struggle to fit it if the dial is too thick).
Clint Eastwood Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) RMC have all explain. Molnija are close to cortebert, finish is different in color, cortebrt is shiny, molnija is grey. The real problem is the hour wheel who is very short, to adapt, you can make a mod by adding an extra tube on it beetween the wheel and the hand. But this movement run like a tractor Edited January 8, 2009 by Clint Eastwood
