Rolex OQ day-date vs 36mm day-date

Post by Darkdance »

I’m new to the forum guys and this is my first post. Love frankin watches and wanted to know if any of the 36mm day date movements will fit or can be made to fit in any Rolex OP cases?

I found a 36mm Rolex day date movement and will appreciate any advice on fitting it to any other original Rolex case or any alternative options or ideas will be appreciated. Thank you for having me and looking forward to all your fascinating projects

I am far from being the one to go to regarding Rolex, but some of the experienced builders will chime in shortly.

I'm sorry I can not help you either, but I thought I would welcome you to the club. :)

I'm sure you will get a few good replies on this. Lots of knowledge hidden around here.
