AR coating if the gen has one 6. new hands set 7. new movement if its necessary can you guys help me source out all of this parts? and who can help me put on all of this parts. any answer will be appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenileCoot Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I was looking at 196 myself but don't know much about it. I know datewheels were offered by finepics but I don't know whether he's got any left. Finepics, have you got any? If so, I'd pick one. Davidsen has the set of hands but for the white 188. I am not sure about the silver hands of 196. I assume The Zigmeister and others could lume the hands and the dial. What crown could be used?

Don't know if the ETA crown stem threads will match. If they do, a Palp crown will work. 2. Not possible for the chronos. 3. The Zigmeister 4. Coming soon for the A7750. Watch the forum. 5. The gen has the inner surface coated, and you can have this done when we put together a single sided AR run 6. I think it can be tracked down 7. Will require a new hands set if you want a Valjoux 7750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
