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 been contemplating getting one of these for some time now, after working on a few spring loaded centre seconds pinion movements. It's not an absolutely necessary tool to have, hence the procrastination.  Then it hit me, all I need is a flat base with a screw in it. So I scrounged around for something suitable and ended up with this. This is some rubber thingy that is  supposed to stop furniture with casters from moving around. In fact, any flat material with sufficient thickness to hold the screw in the centre would do.  
    • I think your axes are mislabelled here. They need switching around. 
    • @clockboy Thank you for the response.
    • @Knebo Thank you for the detailed response and reminding me. I went back and introduced myself. That's really good information, for 15xx it should be similar. Will dig deeper into that.   Yes I mean that. Attaching some pictures. New to shooting through a loupe so pardon the quality. I don't quite get the strength point, could you elaborate? Seeing the punch used for the job, it should limit the highest point of the metal being pushed, Maybe a worn out punch?       I haven't checked the axle will do that, but thee watchmaker told me that the 9'o clock side has been over-polished and the caseback is sinking on that side which is causing the issue. Armed with this knowledge, I will investigate both. The Picture would certainly suggest that plus the Intense pitting (wrist perfuming habit of my family) might be contributing to how the caseback fits.      Thank you again, I have made a checklist and will be investigating all the points you mentioned.   Rolex told me that they will replace the dial and bracelet so I didn't go that route. Its an independent watchmaker, and a very well reputed one in online and offline collector circles. I have seen his work and got work done from him before, this is the first time something like this is coming up. Maybe he is getting lazy in sourcing good parts. lol.
