Welcome to RWI.

Generally, a gen case/dial will take a clone movement. With the older 4-digit cases, they may be better suited to an ETA. Others with experience of modding these models will no doubt have more reliable intel. @pompompurin may be able to help.

People have put 2824-2 and 2836-2 / 2846 inside 1601 cases.

For movement ring, I recommend the helenarou movement ring https://www.helenarou.com/eta-adapter-for-genuine-or-clone-rolex-5512-5515512551355141680.html

Is your dial a 1601 pie-pan or is it a flat DJ ?
With a pie-pan you may need an H4 ETA kit to make more clearance between dial and hands ...

One thing you must think about is that the original dial feet have to be cut off to fit gen dial on the ETA movement.
It's easy to do (it's even possible to put new dial feet for ETA) but the dial will loose value.
