grifter Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I just got some in for a couple of builds. Thought I'd share some photos of the movement for those curious about how the movement was modified to take the correct hand stack. Thoughts from the movement guru's? Comparison of gen hands vs the rep hands that came with the chs movement. Gen hands are always on top. Few small differences. When on the wrist, hardly noticeable and I can live with it. Sead was able to source them for me. He's been great at finding me everything I've asked for. Big thank you, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 So how reliable is this new CHS movement? any experience? Does the date also changes when setting the GMT hand like the original? thnx!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looks like the date will change with the movement of the hour hand rather than the GMT??? Am i right in thnking that this has a jumping hour hand when you adjust it independantly? Looks very much like the older ones i have seen, where all i had were problems with the top most hour wheel and slippage with the drive for the hour wheel, twinned with dial clearance below the dial for the hour wheel and above for the hands. how are these looking are they any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Am i right in thnking that this has a jumping hour hand when you adjust it independantly? if that's the case it will be interesting because that's how the gen should work. all i had were problems with the top most hour wheel and slippage with the drive for the hour wheel, twinned with dial clearance below the dial for the hour wheel and above for the hands. I'd be worried about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Where can I get one of these as the DW in the standard eta position would be perfect for the EXP42mm which has a well documented oversized dateoverlay which is not needed as the window is farther right as per this CHS movement!!!!

I think the OP said from Sead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I don't think the Exp 42 uses a DWO at all--from the pics I've seen it just uses a standard ETA datewheel with the dates printed in Rolex font, just like the movement shown above. Also, a standard DWO can be fitted to this movement. I have two of them with BK DWO installed running just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have one in bits and it does have an overlay on the wheel. Are you sure that you are talking about the 42 mm as it does have a wider wheel print than a standard 40mm watch as I have tried the bk/tc overlay to no avail.

watcher Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just read your post again and realise you did not mean you have fitted a bk wheel to a 42mm, my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiyal Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Looks awesome, I wish some one could kit this. (supply all the needed materials for the conversion) Or supply a parts list so we can order the parts and give it a run. @grifter or sneed , what hand sizes do you end up using ?
