Need an answer about dial fitment

[tony5haw2013]

Will a 2824 dial fit on vr3135 providing the dial feet are moved or removed? Does the date window line up?

Thanks

The native datewheel position in a DG /ETA movement is 1mm right of the 3135. Most higher end reps have dials with a date window shifted left 1mm to match the Rolex position, and use a datewheel overlay (DWO) to shift the date numbers to match. However this is not always the case so you have to know what you are buying. There are still plenty of rep dials with unshifted date windows. If you buy an ETA dial with a shifted date window, it *should* fit the DW of the 3135.

The other concerns you have are dial diameter and rehaut aperture. Rep dials come in many sizes. You need to be sure that:

1. The dial will fit in your case. Either measure your existing dial, or the space it fits into.

2. The part of the dial that shows is OK - minute tics, chapter ring, etc aren't cut off or too far from the rehaut (floating).

Otherwise this can happen

KJ2020 perfect mate, i really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Perfect answer and has sorted my worry.

2824 dial on route has window shifted left and used an overlay on 2824. So date should line up, i can move dial feet so as long as its the correct diameter im good.

Thanks mate!
