Had anyone fit a 2824 to a JF 16610 case?

I'll have a JF case with no movement, plenty of 2824's laying around.

It will fit using a Tc movement spacer which allowed a 2824 to fit a case machined for a 3135.

I actually wasn't able to fit a TC spacer in a star time gen spec 3135 case. It was slightly too big. Sanded it big time, fit, but no longer could it fit the rolex style mounting screws.

i couldn't fit my TC movement ring + TC 2824-2 into a JF v2 because the movement ring's diameter is too wide. No idea if it fits into a JF v3 though

Tc case must be a fraction bigger inside, didn’t know that. I had thought about transplanting mr Tc lv works into a Jf but won’t bother now.

Maybe just a raffles #2 spacer?
Didn't work for me either - I have one at home when I was trying to install a TC 2824-2 into a JF V2. You will have to sand down the Raffles movement ring to make it fit

The Raffles Tudor 34mm movement ring fits, but there is space around the movement ring (as it's a lot smaller) and therefore I couldn't get the TC 2824-2 to sit still with the Raffles Tudor 34mm movement ring (even with modified movement tabs)

I could have sanded down the TC movement ring's circumference to make it fit into a JF; If i recall correctly, @2fake4u sold a franken JF with a TC movement ring like that

i had this issue in my 16800 build. Let me see if I can find out which movement ring I bought from Raffles. It fits but I had to put in a plastic washer around the ring to keep the fit snug

I tried to put the TC ring and 2824 in my noob 116610 V7 that came with a SA3135 and yes, it was too big.

So why not reshape the movement holder to fit?
Not really a hard job I think.

I actually just fitted a TC movement holder in a JF case. Was a tight fit but just went in.
