Thanks. I'll see if he has anything left. I appreciate the response.

Primarily Movement retaining ring and dial. But here is a good list to start and try and be comprehensive: Retaining ring/spacer Dial Crystal I have a gen case and other parts. I have a swiss movement. I have half a gen dial which I can use the rep tachy ring. Like I said a complete watch to cannibalize would be good otherwise, the parts above.

Broken watch is fine. Just need some of the parts to build a franken... I posted a WTB ad but people may read here first... Thanks in advance.

I can sell you my Gen for $950.... Just let me know. Bracelet is very short, but at this price....... I may part it out...

I just don't know if I have it. Take measurements and ill see what's left...

I may. Optimal word is may. The 47mm cases were all over the place in size. I made a batch about 3 or 4 years ago and they barely sold...I may have prototypes left, but I cannot guarantee fit.

My son got to get the prototypes.... He used them to prop up a refridgerator...

Thanks.

My pleasure! Here to serve....

Replied. Thanks!

Not necessarily wrong...I see some of the same trends...I can tell you that I make Frankens all the time for my personal use. I use Pam cases and a strange myriad of parts....Having said that, I dont post my mods or builds as they are not "mainstream" and not for the faint of heart. Maybe more of the experts at modding etc. are not posting or have moved on? Not sure, but there is a new crop of new buyers/members and to your point above, they are looking for gens at rep prices...

Broke my heart. I worked at Apple 5 years and got to meet him in person....

Same question...

I owned the gen and the reps are good enough until you get to the in-house movements. 6497 and 7750 are ubiquitous. If you've got the itch to buy gen then do it. I've scratched and won't go back except for in house movements from panerai.

Take a look and see if both the tabs are in place. Recently I assembled a watch(6497) that worked perfectly until I wore it to a game and was clapping and such. I only noticed it when I went to go look at the time and noticed it was off. I reset it and it worked fine. Then later, I looked again and it was off. Turned it over and the balance was not working. Turned it back over and noticed something moving around. Took the caseback off and noticed one of the plate screws had come loose and was bouncing around. Put it in its place and everything has been fine since. Look at all the screws and make sure they are in place. if one is missing, it is probably your issue. Either way, good luck.

Sounds like the movement clamping screw has come loose and is bouncing around in there. Sometimes it will get caught in the wheels and jam things up. Just a guess without seeing it...Most issues with this movement are minor as it is basically bullet proof... GL!

PM me. I think what I have will work.

I have some ones cut for 7.25" wrists...What size do you need?

Send me a PM. I have one...

Awesome! Wish I'd found this earlier so I could join the correct forum too....

Good point about direct impact Rock.
