FloridaSam Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I picked up a genuine Omega Seamaster 120 with an Omega 1120 Chronometer movement (ETA 2892) for pretty cheap this week. I love the watch but its a bit small at 37mm. I would love to use this watch to make a decent franken....what case would be the best for this movement. I know the vintage Seamaster 300 doesn't use this modern movement but it would make a nice watch... what would you make if you had this movement? Here's a pic of the gen...certainly a fine piece on its own with some NICE blued hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a case with the proper He valve? I had a gen SMP Bond in 1994 when these first came out, it was very nice.... I might throw this movement into a franken IWC too...decisions, decisions...but if I do the IWC.. it'll be smaller too so I would probably keep the watch intact....I do so much want a vintage Seamaster 300....will this movement fit into a Ploprof.....oh my mind is swimming with possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
