Brightight Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Gen parts for what? What parts specifically? In theory only from an AD. However eBay is a possible source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrkampa Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 dials, hands, movements, crowns and so on. I know the bay, and consepta has some iwc stuff. but for AP and other brands, where do i source them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 A quick flight to China, and a month in the GZ markets may fill a couple of wants/needs! JK. You need to specifically target your need. There is not a one stop shop. Part of the "fun" of all this, is the chase...... the search..... and the hunt. Bit like women, once you get 'em into the cot, you can't wait to get 'em out. That too was all about the hunt, not the conquest!(Or the kill, dependent on your POV) Seek and ye shall find.

veja74 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have to agree here, ebay, and have lots and lots of patience. I personally have found success with gen parts on the Omega reps. I have 2 Planet Oceans (one orange and one black) and a SMP Chrono that are loaded to the hilt with gen hands, dials bezels and bracelets/straps and everything but the hands came from ebay, I get my hands from Ofrei. Total time to get all the parts for all three watches is probably 18 months but well worth it. Good luck and have fun! Generally, ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 some info.. Omega parts can be had through Ofrei.. or Cousins specifically for the UPO the link below UPO franken parts Pugwash has a great pictorial upgrade thread for the UPO in the Omega section. Rolex as alluded to on ebay.. or the TZ.. never post frankens or reps on that forum.. googling the part or brand usually gives you a better idea of where they are at.. Straps are abundant all over the net.. we have certain vendors that are here on the forum under accessories also.. all of my rolex parts have come from ebay or members here.. keep in mind modding is not like changing a tire.. so move slowly and good luck AC Lani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
