Dubois Dépraz Module on Asian 2892 copy?

[archibald]

Now that I've found a reliable source for custom hands, I'm going to move forward with my muller chrono project. A while ago, I bought a complete 2894 for the project, but since I have two OEM dials, I'd like to make another watch to sell to (partially) fund the one I'll keep.

Thanks to a great tip from kruzer00, I found an ebay store selling a Dubois Dépraz chrono module--just the module, no movement--for a decent price. Can anyone tell me if it would be worth a try to put it on one of the asian 2892 copies? That would save, like, 300 bucks over a complete 2894-2.

If too much can go wrong w/ trying to slap it on the asian copy, I assume it would be a no brainer for a watchsmith to put it on a gen 2892? Or should I just save myself some headaches, suck it up, and buy another complete movement?

A swiss 2892, though.. should be no problem...
