What movement is this?
- Thread starter tony5haw2013
- Start date
Next question for bonus points, what decent movements if any are compatible with this watch case, do any ETA or sellitta fit? Don't wanna use a dog if I can help it

Not sure about that but you can let a watchmaker remove the date mechanism... Not sure if the 3 positions (when pulling crown) will remain... May I ask how the original dial is looking? I'm always looking for some indexes to remove...

Don't have the watch in hand yet but here a pic, just not my style at all.
I bought the watch just to mess around with and learn really.
Basically want to remove movement and replace with Swiss, amount other little changes, just a little cheap project for fun and leaning on

How would I lose the date functions and crown position though?

Just remove the date wheel - or leave it in place, you're not going to see it if there's a no date dial in place. Modifying the keyless works to remove the date set position is not something you're going to be able to do.
I would be happy to pay to have that done or is not possible?

Spoken to a guy and ordered a top grade sellitta sw220-2 and he is going to remove date parts and fit a different setting lever to remove date. So all good by the sound of it

So, apparently I can remove date parts from a sellitta sw200. I use the setting lever jumper from a 2801 and this will remove date setting position.
The sw200 is the same hand height as the 2836 and once date is removed will work perfectly, I may add a Rolex decorated rotor just to add some shiney.
Movement looks good with all blued screws etc.

One last question mate if you don't mind.
If I buy a 2824, change to h4 height and use this this 2801 jumper. Would that be compatible with said Asian 21j movement?
Would rather do that as I prefer to have the 2824. Would also teach myself how to swap over the parts, I believe both jobs are not too difficult and seems to be some writeups on how to do it. I have the tools here at home after all.
What are your thoughts?
