It still sounds like a worthwhile punt when these are on sale. Rich, did you buy the box of Sub hands or is it the result of accumulating them over time? If the former, any chance of a link? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk A pic of it is up in the thread. I'm sure there are others for sale, but this is what I bought. Probably half you could never use, but for the price who cares? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32903683421.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1b934c4dRr00F6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikosaldente 630 Posted September 17, 2019 13 hours ago, NCRich said: Well, on the plus side its a much better finished movement than your standard 2813. It runs really smoothly, nice sweep. It's not a 2803, it is apparently a SK1813. It is produced by the Shenzhen Jingrui Movement Company. Dial feet fit a 2813 and are screwed on like a 2813, and the hands are 90/150/25 so it is not a direct swap. I have a big box o'sub and DJ hands as seen above so I fit hands to them. You will need a DWO if you use it on anything other than a no-date something. Stem looks compatible but honestly I didn't try it on a 2813, it just looks the same. Had a spare dial laying about so did this. I'll probably use it on a no date sub I have, and I'm going to swap a DWO on a datejust I have and use the other one there. So you have to be pretty skilled to do this and it uses a ETA hand set. Its worth the $24 a piece just for the fun of doing it. Here is the pdf of the movement. http://www.starkingwatch.com/upload/file/201708/1813.pdf Great job Boss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta love Aliexpress.I realised when I scrolled back up through the thread that there was a pic of a box - sorry, I should’ve checked before asking.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robse1 70 Posted September 2, 2020 i wrote to seller, maybe they send a refund or i send it back - its free return. I think its really luck to get a "good" piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
