I am currently sourcing a dial for a build that will include a DG3804. I have found a nice dial, but since I haven't got a 3804 at home, I don't know where the dial feet are positioned on a dial made for the DG3804? I need to make sure that this dial will fit without having to clip the feet.

Appreciate your help guys!

Thank you!

This might be a stupid question, but Yuki dials (the non ETA version) are stated to have the feet at 30 and 57 minute. Link

Would a 'non eta' version dial fit onto the DG3804 and have the date aligned properly?

No, unfortunately not. Those feet are in the gen Rolex position.

Two of the dial feet are in the 2813/3804 position, the other two are in the Eta position. Simply clip and file down the two feet you aren’t going to use. The hand sizes for the 3804 are the same as 2813, the gmt hand is 2.0 mm same as eta.

Thanks man, appreciate it! Do you know where i could order a rolex engraving dial for this movement? On ebay they have other random name dials.

Anyone know where I could get technical data, drawings or the like on the 2813? I thought it would be something easy to find so I took mine apart. And well, it's still apart.

It’s a $20 movement mate, buy another

Where? I may need one for an example to put this one back together, it will not beat me, I have a 30# sledge that says so.

Just to be sure, I have a 2813 right? Looks like it to me and some others have said so.
