Hi, any advice on interchangeable parts for a 1948 ladies Rolex Oyster.  The movement has the following markings 

Rolex 8 3/4 Hunter 0528  17 Jewels. The Pallet fork and the roller table are both damaged and I don’t have the skills to repair / make replacements. Can anyone advise if other Rolex movements share the same parts which I can substitute as I’m hitting a blank searching on the movement details.

 

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately Rolex parts are difficult to source. For vintage almost impossible your only hope is troll the net looking for a donor movement.

There may be more clues as to what the movement is by showing a picture of the other side, its a early calibre so is almost certainly produced by Aegler  and with 17 jewels is a Prima  varient these 8 3/4 movements where also the base calibre for the first Rolex Automatics.

Aegler movements where not just supplied to Rolex, Alpina and Gruen also used Aegler supplied movements and some parts for these are inter-changeable.

Search on the answer i got on Jules. Gruen 823 came up. When i search on ebay i found some parts . So think that they at least share some parts like stem and balance.

The movement is a Rolex calibre 510 most parts are common to the 500 series of movement see sheets below for part numbers5b2b393cbdeab_500I.thumb.jpg.b75b005a26f83b80da0e287986fb1fc1.jpg510.thumb.jpg.08c040acd3c80bd0ebe3faebc513b312.jpg

    • That looks fantastic! I'm obviously a little late to the party here. Can you tell me where you sourced the case that you used in this build?
    • If pivot shoulder almost touches the mainplate, you will see lower amplitude and free oscilation comes to stop quicker. Such touching can stop the watch. This caliber is based on FHF, I think. So some parts of a cheaper movement of same caliber might interchange.
    • This watch has a pin end mainspring. It's a blued steel spring and may be the original >100 year old part. As you can see, it is quite set. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to obtain such a spring today? Dimensions: Height: 140 Thickness: 010 Arbor diameter: 340 Barrel diameter 989 (1/100 mm)  
    • Many thanks for your answers: 1. I will clean both of them without risk 🙂 2. Both of the rotate inside their setting but they don't seem to come out. I will clean the cock (and the hole jewels) and I will see if they want to go out. I don't intend to force the setting pushing it out by any means. I only hope I don't need the dismantle the whole cock into all its components...! 3. I won't touch it. Only clean. I don't want to take risk... Thanks again! Thanks for your anwer. Yes, I meant short. In fact there are 2 pictures where It can be seen that the balance almost touch the main plate. The balance only spin freely when I loosen the cock screw and also the bottom jewel setting. I cleaned the exterior jewels on the cock and on the main plate. But I can't take the interior settings. I uploaded 1 picture on this  My reply to your comments are below. Apologies as I Replied rather than quote... 
    • By worn pivot, Do you mean short ?   A pivot is not short if balance spins freely on it. Dial up & dial down tests are good test for investigation, visual test alone doesn't suffice. A thorough test is free oscilation, which is best done when balance cock is adjusted with acceptable end shake. Balance settings on both side should be dismantled as they must be cleaned, pegged and inspected.  Stud & pivot & where spring leaves the collet are on one line, show entire coil and where you think is bent, please.
