I am certain that you could do it but, why put a junk $15 movement into such a nice case. Buy an ETA 2846 from Jules Borell or Otto Frei. It is the same size as the 2836 and has a slower 21,600 bhp and the quality to make that MBW a dependable watch.

Yes, but fitting the datewheel becomes the problem then. Stick with the ETA 2846.
