508-Fanatic Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 GentlemenI really enjoy the Planet Ocean rep's but I find the Cal,8500 to be lacking just a couple of things (Puretime used as example) Blued screws and a black balance wheel, and a better balance bridge. Does anyone have any experience modding these?Are the parts available? I think it would really take the watch to the next level. Or...conversely, is there a better version of the rep movement?

kernow Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I know nothing about movements, but from what I've read the gen Omega 8500 doesn't look like any rep movement so dressing up a rep with blued screws isn't going to fool anybody. However if it's just for you (who gives their rep for someone to look at the back anyway!) then I expect you can find blued screws somewhere, but I doubt the balance wheel or bridge.

icoopernicus Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 There was a 21 jewel movement that looked a lot better if I recall. I want to say no black balance but I believe they repped balance bridge and the twin barrel mainspring a lot better.
