5514 comex project

[15400]

Hi

I'm starting that project with a phong complete case and a whoopy comex dial.

Can someone give me an idea about the price of a gen 1520 movement, about gen hands?

What is your opinion about the bezel and the insert of phong? Should i replace them with gen? If yes witch could be the wright price?

Witch is the wright code for the strap?

Thank you

The whoppy dial is for eta movement, or am I wrong?

The last price i see on VRM and the bay for 1520 movements are usually in 1400$ -2000$ range. If you are lucky you could found a better price but consider also the cost of service.

Tritium hands starts from 300$.  the complete phong case is 1450$ if you get only the midcase and caseback you could pay 1000$ and get a  gen bezel and insert for 600$ you still need a gen retaining ring. Add gen plexy and gen crown & tube.

at this point i will use gen dial (ft first pre comex) or costum minh qui comex dial.

If you use comex dial whoopy for eta 2824/2846 i reccomended eta 2824-2 converted to slow beat and whit h4 hands  pinion. Keep phong bezel  assembly and add gen insert. Yuki movement ring  and tc hands.

Damn, I'm considering a 1520 as well. Can't seem to find too many out there.
