What gen movement for SMP Chrono?

[William Campbell]

I have the blue dial with red letters SMP 300 Chrono. I would like to replace it with a gen movement.

Can you tell me what movement I need and if there are any problems, such as the hands, or anything else.

What would the cost be? Where can I purchase one?

Thanks

I believe it's the Calibre 2500. I've had good luck finding them on eBay from known Swiss vendors. I hope someone can confirm that the movement can fit inside the case though!

Mate you will need to find an omega caliber 1164 which is based on the valjoux 7750, if you will use the stock rep hands you need to broach them in order to be used with the gen movement..

Can I use an actual Valjoux? The 1164 is $750.

Thanks.

1164 is correct.

 

unless u get it for cheap, no point.

 

a used gen will be around $1K to $1.2K

Ah, he's completely right. I missed the part where you said chrono. The non chrono version uses the Calibre 2500. I would never buy an SMP to turn into a fraken when you can easily buy them for 2-3k used. Best of luck!
