Swap a 2824 into a 3135

 


2824 into a SH3135 case
ETA 2824-2 into a SA3135 case

2824 in a Submariner which had a 3135 movement installed 

proper movement holder , new dial , DWO a 2836 date disc will fit on a 2824 but not vice versa and new hands too , but its possible


H4 pinion. 

But most asian 2824 clone and ETA 2824-2 come with H2 pinions as standard. Therefore you might need to upgrade the H2 pinions to H4 if you are going to source an asian 2824-2 clone / ETA 2824-2 instead of a TC 2824-2. Pinion change requires disassembling the movement and that is tricky


2. The right movement ring is also needed, I have no idea which one would work for SA3135 cases but TC sells movement rings as well for his TC 2824-2 - those should definitely fit


3. Using a 2824-2 movement (whether it is TC, ETA or Asian clone) also requires you to install a datewheel overlay in order to correctly position the date beneath the dial's date window. You will also need to order that and install it if you are going to install a 2824-2 based movement - TC also sells high quality datewheel overlay


4. If you are going to fit a 2824-2 movement (whether it is TC, ETA or Asian clone) into your SA3135 case, please also note that the existing SA3135 dial have dial feet positions that are different to the 2824-2 movement. Therefore, you must cut the dial feet off the existing SA3135 dial and stick the dial onto the movement ring using sticky dial dot (I have also done that similarly by using a minimum amount double-sided sticky tape)


5. The stock SA3135 hand pinion sizes are different to 2824-2 / 2836-2 movements (whether it is TC, ETA or Asian clone). Therefore you will also need to buy the correct hands if you are going to use a 2824-2 movement as the existing SA3135 hands would not fit. You can try sourcing the Noob 116610 V7 / V6 / V5 etc A2836-2 hands from the TD as these will provide the correct lume colour and they are reported to be the highest quality for aftermarket clone hands. eBay sub hands from experience all suck, including WSO stuff.
