Hi
I have a Seamaster 300 (https://www.intime04.co/omega/1188-omega-vintage-seamaster-300-date-ss-me-blk-a-2836.html) that I have given a vintage makeover. In order to take it to the next level I would like to replace the A2836 movement with an original omega 565, but since I have no experience, I would appreciate some help. Is it even possible?
My questions:
-First of all, will it fit in the case?
- I guess I need to move the “pins” on the back of the dial in order to fit the 565,how do I do that?
-Is the hands possible to attach on the 565?
-Is the date wheel the same diameter?
-I guess I need to get a new stem for the crown in order to fit the case, is it possible to re-use the crown?
-How do I make sure that the new movement is attached to the case properly?
-Is it anything else I need to consider before I decide if it is worth it or not?
Thanks a lot!
