Probably the case is designed so that date will align. That happens  when the crown is placed at angles distanced every 11.6 degrees, e.g. 4h 15min.

BTW, there is a section in this forum where people likes to introduce themselves before asking questions.

If i'm understanding your question correctly , you want to put a 2824 movement with the date and crown at 3 in a case with the crown at 4 ?

If this is so then with the crown at 4 unless you remove the dial feet the dial will be at 5 past instead of 12 and the date window would be at 4 instead of 3 .

As i say if i have understood you correctly the dial feet will need removing and dial sticky spots using to hold dial in new position , with date window at 3 and 12 o clock at 12

good info !  so if it is a "no date window",  you just rotate the dial to 3:00 position?  vin

I believe you can do it with a date window at 3 dial to , I've been told the calendar dial is the same if the window is at 4 or 3 but as i say you would need to remove the dial feet and use sticky pads

The numbers are on a ring. You can put the window showing the number anywhere along the resting position of the ring numbers. The number will only be horizontal at 3 and 9 however.

Well yes but the numbers would be upside down at 9 o'clock , not to mention vertical at 6:wacko:

The point I was making is that they would be the same with the window  at 4 as at 3 , even though suppliers charge more for movements with the date at 4 than the movements with the date at 3 the calendar wheel is the same but the price is different .

Get an old dial and movement and try it

    • I've just finished refurbishing a Memostar Alarm with AS 1931 movement (same as 1945 but with date and running at 21600). I was also surprised how many parts are available at Cousins. Like you, I was missing the alarm stem (Cousins stock them) and I needed new crowns. It's a nice simple movement for an alarm, easier to service than a Seiko Bell-Matic. BTW I made a note in my Servicing spreadsheet: "Pull out winding stem before removal".  It may have just been wear on my movement, but I found that the yoke could move out of the clutch if the stem was removed in the normal position (like some ETAs). 
    • I picked up this alarm watch at a flea market several months ago and recently decided to investigate.  I am not finished, but well on my way. As you can see, there was significant water damage.  Running these parts through my L&R cleaner was not enough to clean them, so I did manual cleaning with one-dip and cotton swab (the dense pointed kind).  The wig-wag was stubborn--the two gears would not release from the plate.  I soaked it in Kroil overnight and that did the trick. There was some rust on the balance staff, but not actually on the pivots themselves.  Nevertheless, I chucked it a step-chuck on my lathe and burnished the pivots. The watch is running and I have confirmed that the alarm drive train is functioning.  Since I am missing a stem for the alarm, I have not done the final assemble of the alarm components.  Surprisingly, there are lots of parts available for this movement on Cousins.  I will probably get a couple of stems and maybe some other parts that I deem necessary. The watch is running at weak amplitude (about 190) and shows some poising issues.  I will work on that. The last two pictures are after partial reassembly.    
    • Hello and welcome to the forum.    Enjoy
    • Exactly!  It may not really be a joke, but the actual truth.
    • The movement is placed on the base and the centre screw is raised until it contacts and supports the centre pinion, thus stopping the centre pinion from sinking in when the second hand is pressed on.
