Rolex 8 3/4 Hunter (0528) parts


Recommended Posts

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.

Think that the 0528 is a serial number. Check on ebay for donor movement. Seen a  some  Rolex 8 3/4 there. Didn't Rolex borrowed movement from other brands from the beginning ? Like FHF30 is Rolex 59 . 

Check Jules borel if they share any parts on other movements. http://cgi.julesborel.com/cgi-bin/matcgi2?ref=ROL_H_8_3/4_L

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.

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
