997 s Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi I could be aiming to make a franken AP ROO Can you guys give help.... Who sells the LWO 283 movement ? Does the LWO mov need to get a gen dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 You would buy the LWO 283 as part of a donor watch ($500 and up). Tag Heuer and Concord amongst others made watches with that movement. You will need a gen dial for sure. And you will also need a modder to work on the case (bezel, mid case and case-back. It will also require a custom movement ring. That work is typically $800+ in and of itself. So just to get the project off the ground you will need $500 (rep) + $800 (work) + donor watch ($500+) + dial ($1200+). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faberjay111 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks for the information! What models of Tag and Concord use the LWO movement? Also, any ideas where we can find a gen dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have 2 dials and a project that I am willing to let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks for the information! What models of Tag and Concord use the LWO movement? Also, any ideas where we can find a gen dial? Concord Ventu, Tag Heuer Chrono Professional 2000 (or something like that). Be careful on the TAG's as they have made subsequent models with a different dial. Look for the depth of datewheel to guide you. The chrono module on top of a base movement rather than a straight line 7750 really makes a difference.

edgematic1 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 There is also the Baume & Mercier Transatlantic Chrono and Longines as well, but I can't remember the model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
