NEW PROJECT - DW for ARF DJ 41

[KJ2020]

@bettoban,

May be a silly question, so excuse my ignorance. you can use a 3135 as an overlay on 2824 (I had a Gen DW installed in a 2824 sub) The issue With doing the same with the ARF DJ41 was (so I’m told) because of its dials date window position. Hence the need for the wider 3235 DW. If a regular 3135 DW wouldn’t work as an overlay, why would a regular 2824 work in the DJ41

The date window on a DJ41 rep is indeed in a different position than the more common Rolex models like Sub, Gmt, YM, etc. However the DJ41 date window coincides with the native 2824/36 ETA datewheel, so just printing directly on it works perfectly.

The only way a 2824/36 DWO works on the other models is that it is shifted inward from the original datewheel position.

Would it be compatible with a 2836 movement ?

Yes they use the same datewheels

Ahh I see, that’s interesting. Thanks for that simple explanation mate.

No it's not, because it's not pad printed, but i'll switch to pad printing if the result won't be good once installed. I'll post some pic in a few days

Looking forward to it immensely!

Ok cool, that’s the one thing I do notice about the Rolex DWs. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

[bettoban]

[Takemetothepub]

So excited by this

 

[mitchruss]

No,Charity said he has a 3235 DW ready for his project and bettoban is i still on holidays so i think he decided to start with his initial project ...

Anyway hope this DW by Bettoban is the real deal because we struggle like crazy to find a 3235 DW .

Thnaks bettoban for the time and effort .

 

[TYL88]

Yeah i noticed in a different thread. Well still curious to see gen DW with the stock xtal too. Post pics when installed please charity7

 

[mitchruss]

@tyll88 Datewheel will always be the number one issue on ARF datejust .

Having a gen DW is more necessary than a gen crystal imo .
