Anyone know if it’s possible to take the 1861 movement from a 1861 speedy case and swap in the 3861 movement? I know it’s pretty crazy just wondering if it would work?

Given enough money anything is possible.

I’m not sure why you would on an 1861…. You would be better off putting a 145.022 dial into a 3861.

You would need at least new subdial hands - the 1861 has different sizes. And I’m not even going to address the question of where you would even get a new 3861 movement without buying a new watch. And if your are going to have to do that, what’s the point?

I wish the 3861 steel hesalite had an applied and not printed logo.
