Franken advice please. Help!

[Cohiba0]

I have genuine datejust 16233 case.
My franken project is, buy Rolex 5035 movement (Oysterquartz) and install to 16233 case.
My question is 5035 movement can be install to 16233 case?
Anyone tried this project?
Please reply or give me an advice.
Thank you!

All you can do is try- I've never seen anyone put an oysterquartz movement in anything. I do know that you can put a 2824-2 in the 16233 case with a DJ dial and build a nice franken.

I'm curious - why would you pay what a caliber 5035 would cost to franken a 16223? Why not just buy a tried & true Swiss ETA and use it?

Hi.
I'm a very sensitive about + - time error. so I'm actually prefer quartz movement.
