Noob question - does 1:1 mean it will accept OEM parts?

[Marv1nn]

My 3227-01 obsession is reaching new heights. I'm considering doing a frankenstein unit with gen movement, dial, etc into one of the old cartel units.

Will this work? Has anyone put a gen movement in one of these?

Thanks in advance guys!

1:1 and accepting gen parts are often mutually exclusive propositions.

I know some of the other iwcs are compatible, as Concepta has been a legend at Frankenstein builds for a long time.

I haven't ever seen an Ingy done, which is why I'm asking.

Concepta was producing the 3714's primarily. In order to franken that model, it took a lot of case modifications to make a gen movement fit. I suspect you would be up against the same thing with an Ingy chrono.

If I were you I would hang on as the big makers are going to be going strong on IWCs this year and you may well find some updates coming with these models

1:1 accuracy is often a misnomer, and highly subjective. It is a marketing slang used by people who have often not seen the genuine article, despite claims otherwise. So the concept of full interchangeability would often turn out to be untrue.
