GMT 1675 dial fit on a 2836 ETA?

[KJ2020]

Not worried about dial feet or diameter, those are manageable. I want to know if the date window will line up with the datewheel on a Helenarou 2836 GMT.

Yes. At least it does on mine - Vietnam dial with clone 2836

Will probably need a date wheel overlay.

On a Rolex dial, or a dial made to the same specifications and dimensions, the date window will not line up with the DW on an ETA/clone movement. You'll need a 'Rolex' DWO.

Yuki does dials for both ETA and Rolex date window positions.

What he says^^^^
You will need to glue a dwo on the HR 2836 date wheel for the date window to line up on a gen spec dial

Thanks everyone for the replies!

I believe the HZ6460 that HR sells comes with a Rolex dwo already mounted.

It looks good but doesn’t have the open 6&9.

That would be great. I'll give that a try, unfortunately Yuki doesn't show any ETA GMT dials.

The HZ dwo appears to line up with 1675, but as Jsebwc noted- it lacks vintage cred.

KJ2020 ...what was the outcome of this for you...I am going down the same rabbit hole, 1675 Rolex spec dial, HZ GMT...

did you use the Helenrou DWO or did you find another?

The HZ6460 does come with a Rolex position and font DWO installed. I've used 3 or 4 of them and the DWO placement has been acceptable in all cases, though tbh not perfect. Not sure if it's the dial or the DWO but the dates tend to appear a little left justified. Also one came not centered vertically, I had to realign it. I haven't tried one with a 1675 dial, I can't seem to get traction with a rep for that model.

My tolerance for left justified dates in reps has increased, Noob is bad about that. You simply can't put a gen DW in every rep. This rep has a stock HZ6460 with unmodified DWO.

Another nice rep GMT movement I've used comes from vendor bosshua007. If you buy the item with 6-digit dial and hands, it has a Rolex position and font DWO. Hands and dial are OK (except GMT hand) for beater projects, lume is not great. Boss also sells on ebay at slightly higher prices.

Ok...finally got my dial (mochacha) and HZ movement from Yuki...and the DWO has very noticeable left justified position...more than I am willing to accept. I can make up for it a bit with dial position (gen feet position on ETA...so I cut the feet and am installing new feet)...but I have to move the dial until the center hole hits the produding wheels. I just can't accept that.

I ordered some DWO's off the bay, hopefully they will be better.

As much of a problem these DW's are...you think someone would start making Rolex font wheels that are 'drop in ready' for ETA movements....

also checked out the link...and had to buy one of his Omega watch kits. The price is really good, I just hope the quality is as well!

Hi guys I’m new to this replica world, I do not have a clue about anything apart from original Rolex stuff. I’m currently working on a project, one I can not wait to complete because I just love vintage watches. Ideally this project will end up all original and the watch will be back to factory spec ( but this takes time, lots of sourcing and money) the watch I wish to build is a 1675 gmt . I have found a aftermarket case I just need to budget for now as times are quit rough !! But dream of putting this watch together. I’d like to know by you experts how can I purchass a eta or any movement that can replace the Rolex 1565 movement that will fit original Rolex dial and handset ??? I’ve been ready and searching and I can’t take it anymore I ain’t getting anywhere!! I need help lol.
