Decided to take the plunge and build my first proper franken datejust. Either a 16233 or 16013

Which movement is better for the build? Or are they the same just different prices?

Ive ordered the 2 tone 2824 case from ken and explained I will be using a 3135 movement and a gen dial.

Ive got 3135 hands sorted.

Leather strap and end links.

Purchased a genuine16013 dial and a genuine 16233 dial (will build another in time)

Will the gen dials fit these movements? I understand i may have to cut the feet, use dial dots or new brass pins (which i have) and a dial spacer.

What acrylic crystal will I need?

I will eventually change the stock raffles bezel but not just yet.

Any help on what else ill need would be helpful.

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if anyone had a already built 16233 or simular for sale? Any condition.

I was going to order parts from raffles etc and build myself but I thought to save any hassle to just buy one if anyone is looking to sell?

My budget isn't huge, it would be around the £150ish. So would be a budget build.

Thank-you in advance.
