Hey Guys.. I'm currently in the process of wanting to franken two watches.. One currently going is my seamster, and the other will be for the Mrs. Gold and Black date just I guess.. Unless I find another color I think she'd like!

So, how do you do it? On the bay right? All i've been getting for a couple weeks is some place that is selling "factory refurbished new dials on original rolex dial" whatever the hell that means..

This is what I keep finding.. this store. (sorry if links aren't allowed here :( ) http://www.ebay.com/usr/jktimepiece ..

So, I think this is where patience and persistence comes in right?

Now to decide between the clone movement on intime or the a2836.. Hmm..

eBay, VRM, TRF are some places I usually go. Or just ask [MENTION=59949]stonep[/MENTION] :lol:

Also clone movement is the same as a2836. I think you're deciding between a clone and an ETA 2836.

Thanks Junbug!

The clone 3135 is what I meant vs the a2836, is it takes gen dials and hands it says.. Figured easier then cutting the feet! But know nothing of the movement. Last thing I want is my lady saying "my watch stopped again!" Don't need complaints about that too [emoji23][emoji23]

Ah, makes sense. Well I'd recommend a 2836 using Tudor hands as they're made for ETA 28XXs and I believe they're cheaper. In any event, best of luck! If you decide to go ETA check out these DWOs: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...3-ETA-DWO-with-6-amp-9-open-for-Rolex-vintage

I would just as soon buy a rep dial as one of those alleged refinished Rolex dials. Not much of a difference other than the feet position. I believe them to be just aftermarket fake dials, and over priced.

Thanks KBH. That's what I thought as well.. I figured it was a fluff way to say Fake.
