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.
