Would like to know if is it possible to put an A2836 movement on the new CHS Case on GMT MASTER 2.
I mean, i want to buy a NEW CHS GMT MASTER 2, and use the only the case and bracelet, to exchange with my older noob GMT Master 2 parts.
Will it fit?Any help would be appreciated.

From what I have read, the latest CHS Noob uses 2824-2 based movement (with GMT mod), and therefore it also has the correct crown height like gen Rolex

2836-2 has a different crown/stem height to the 2824-2. Also, 2836-2 movements do not have the similar crown/stem height like gen Rolex

Therefore I doubt that a 2836-2 movement would fit inside, unless you redrill the tube to the correct height

Maybe someone else with experience could chime in

I could be mistaken, but I thought the CHS model does not have a gen crown position. I think like a lot of 2824-based reps, it's a little low. As a lot of creative builders have shown, there is some wiggle room based on stem flexibility, so different cases can take the same movement, and different movements can sometimes work in the same case (like the 2824 and 3135 in a TC sub).

See this profile pic of a gen 116710, showing how high up the crown sits relative to the case.

Anyone with a CHS noob willing to post at the same angle to answer for sure?

It's an hard work but you can. Unfortunally then you will have problems with height of the wheels hands and crystal...
