The best would be a franken by Concepta, then a DLC coated movement from Avitt, then it is from the dealers and they will all be the same crap shoot if it works.

Lets hope ther will be one but the likelyhood of an truly improved version seem slim........but certainly I hope to be proven wrong on this one.

[glennpenn]

But the franken would be based on a standard rep, right?

Yepp..but with a modified case

[glennpenn]

Hi Concepta! what is the case mod you do?

[jchurch]

I think it has to be changed so that the genuine movement fits...

[FxrAndy]

It has to be made a little thinner on the bezel side.

[glennpenn]

So if I would get the unmodified version from a dealer... does all the dealers sell the same version, are there newer and older versions? Could Concepta mod any version bought from any dealer?

You would have to ask Concepta that, i suggest you PM him

[Bricciola]

Hi is equal to what you buy, the case must still be amended to accommodate the genuine movement :)

Concepta take a rep case and drops in as many gen parts as your wallet will allow. Gen movement, dial, hands, crown, strap!!

It's the ultimate sort of franken. The dealer versions can't compare, but not everyone has such deep pockets.

bought a franken portu from concepta... gen movement, gen hands and double AR... I AM EXTREMLY HAPPY WITH IT!

The gen movement makes a very big difference. Had the rep movement before... even with graphite treatment... had a jerky seconds hand and died only after a couple of weeks.

the geen movement runs sooo smooth... and no worries to start the chrono function

and still much cheaper than buying a gen.. only thing I have to get for it is either a gen crown or a rep "probus scafusia" crown and it will be perfect!
