Part 1.
As i assume some of you know that I'm into rolex watches,
it's quite obvious that I love the vintage ones like the new ones.
So what's the story?
Before Christmas I scrolled through Chrono24 and found a genuine Rolex case set incl. a black "tropic" Oyster dial ( for about 330€)
The acrylic christal was cracked, but luckily i got another one in stock.
My idea s to take a genuine ETA 2840 (low beat)
and marry it to the gen 1002 tropic dial.
(I assume some of you know that ETA 2840 hasn't "holes for dial feet", neither for movement screws to fit into a case)
First thing (after disassemble the ETA 2840) I drilled the dial feet holes for Rolex 1570 into the ETA mainplate.
Second i drilled screw holes and mill-cut them into the ETA for the movement holders & screws.
Thus because I wanted to fit the genuine Rolex dial on the ETA 1 to 1, without damage the dial.
what it looks like:
