AWESOME. LOVE THE DIAL/LUME!! VERY COOL. THANKS NW.....really like it.... (also enjoyed the title of the thread.... :-)

Friends - I have all the parts for a Franken APROO build. Need a LWO 283 movement. Other than finding a tag or another donor watch, is there any source to find this movement. Help!!!

the movement is NOT a replica. It is an actual SF240 taken from a old clock just as Panerai did. It has been modded to fit the case, dial, hands. Cost is $$$$ :-) Typical angelus movements in good condition cost north of $3000.

Wow amazing the BEST!! Building GMT frankens are the very hard. THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Thanks so much for your comments on the watch. Would love you hear more about the symbol and story behind it. Also that strap looks super cool. Would like to get one. Can you share the link to the maker.

GUYS...JUST A FRIENDLY WARNING....THE CHILEAN ANTIQUES MOVEMENTS ON EBAY ARE VERY SHINY AND TEMPTING....BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT UNLESS YOU ARE DAMN LUCKY THE MODIFIED MOVEMENTS ARE A MESS BEHIND THE SHINY CLEAN BACK PLATES. I HAVE GONE THROUGH MULTIPLE MOVEMENTS (THIS IS WHY I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO QUOTE THE TOTAL COST FOR THIS PROJECT). ZIG AND OTHER EXPERTS WILL TELL YOU THE SAME...BE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THESE MOVEMENTS...MODDED ONES ARE GENERALLY A TOTAL MESS INSIDE.....BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU DECIDE TO GET INTO BUYING THESE MOVEMENTS...BEST IS TO FIND A PRISTINE UN-MODDED AND THEN USE A TRUSTED MODDER TO MOD THEM.

creating this was a multi country effort. GEN PAM parts from (Dial, hands, CG, Bezel) - ITALY GEN Crystal - USA Angelus - ARGENTINA, Hong Kong Base watch - CHINA Assembled (Made in) - CANADA - this is the MOST important part and my SALUTE to MASTER Zig....Unbelievable work on the movement. COST - $$$$$$$$$$ (5 figure).....but significantly less than......

Yes CG is gen, All parts are gen except case and crystal. Gen crystal is on its way to me and will get installed in few weeks.

Well this is an interesting one. Per panerai sources this was a choice offered to the buyers and some chose it this way. Many pics and reviews on web confirm this.

THE FINAL AND MOST IMPORTANT PIC.....

awesome wow!!!!

yes gen hands and gen crown/pushers....damn hard to find...will pay top $$ if anyone has...

yes good catch, fixed it. thanks

Another amazing build from Zig....case reworked, Gen Dial, Gen Tachy, VAC AR, VAC Crystal, LWO movement..........

THis is rep for sure...
