armanou-pascal Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 This is SPARTA ! Awesome build !
ogladio Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Amazing 1680, one of the best I've seen here. Did the gen datewheel fit the as movement without mods and did you have to cut the dial feet for the gen dial?
chronobam Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) very stunning piece so...can you kindly share also the specs of your 16550 in other 3d please? thanks Edited February 2, 2015 by chronobam

Beachcomber Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Is the bezel gen? What movement is that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Mendota Explorer Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Wow. This is really fantastic. What a great build. I am inexperienced with actually working on movements myself, so maybe this is a really easy question, but did you take the gen datewheel and use it as an overlay on the datewheel that was already part of your movement? Is that an ETA based movement? How did you get the gen dial to seat properly on your movement? Did you cut the feet and then glue new ones on it, or use dial dots or something? Really nice work with this.
Chuck P Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Really nice work. Looking forward to what movt this is. Nice that the date wheel goes in same direction as Rolex!
POTR Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Adolph Schild 5203, or 5206 with day removed. Can be found NOS in Zeno-Watch Explorer with day and date removed, which would actually make theirs 5202s. But who's gonna argue about a moment that hasn't been made since the mid 70s? They're all the same ébauche anyway.
marrickvilleboy Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Looks good! Pls share the specs
AKTime Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 How much modifying to the case did it take to get the movement fitted?
Chuck P Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 How much modifying to the case did it take to get the movement fitted? I would love to know this too. Looks like the movement is considerably thicker than the ETA 2836/46 with different stem height as well (not to mention slightly wider). Can't see it fitting in with proper stem height or caseback closing without a lot of work. Would love to know though because the thought of a gen-like lower beat combined with gen date wheel direction is VERY appealing.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 very nice end result. was the AS movement to fit a gen date disc with no modifying or was there another advantage as well?
marrickvilleboy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 very nice end result. was the AS movement to fit a gen date disc with no modifying or was there another advantage as well? Doesnt appear so as there is still a DW overlay
Chuck P Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Doesnt appear so as there is still a DW overlay The DWO is a gen date wheel though, which is awesome!
