No big deal in this case, considering their sorry state.

The other things to consider are stem height and date window position. I think only the early 536 calibre was interchangeable with the 28** Series mechanicals, which was basically because the 536 was based around the same design as the mechanicals and they didn’t attempt to slim it down. 

If the case is the same design as the mechanical version then they may have used a movement ring to compensate, but that becomes more complicated when stem heights change due to the dial being shifted away from the front of the case if you try to compensate for lack of stem height.

Looking at other full-size “Pre Bonds”, I think the date window may be in a different position (see attached photo).
