Seadweller4000 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I will not buy it even if it looks truly fantastic cant live with that faux "dobbel chrono"....didnt realize it at first Simply put a genuine IWC 79230 calibre in it and you're set. If you can source one, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texski Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Simply put a genuine IWC 79230 calibre in it and you're set. If you can source one, that is. I've got one being built now, with this dial This is an amazing movement, and the hands have to be hammered on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you can actually use the chrono without being afraid the hands might slip out of position after a reset. Nice! Huge project. Please provide some pictures, that would be awesome! I have built a franken Ingenieur Chrono myself, with a 79350 calibre, genuine dial and hands, gen clasp and aftermarket AR crystal. Still nothing compared to a Doppelchronograph, but I know how much work and time a project like that consumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've got one being built now, with this dial This is an amazing movement, and the hands have to be hammered on. Why would you hammer on A7750 hands onto a gen movement? It will be a killer piece when it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
