dadog13 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 does anybody know where I could find only the movement for this watch...I have already asked tourby, but he says it is almost impossible to find one...maybe some of you could point me in the right direction where to search for one of these mvt's....I know a couple of brands using this specific mvt, but the watches are priced really high for this project...maybe I should ask ofrei or cousins?! but maybe some of you have some secret resources wher it could be purchased, please advise... thanks in advance, dadog13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased a used watch with the movement in it (verified by a photo of the movement through a sapphire case-back) for about $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 My bad, thought you had the PR module and jsut needed the base movement. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) My bad, thought you had the PR module and jsut needed the base movement. Sorry. no...the PR module is what's been bugging me... BTW...couldn't the rep factories make a good rep of the 027/028 with an asian movement...I know that there are some 027/028 reps out there already (asian 21j or 35j), but they do not match the quality I am looking after...what I would like to see is the exactly same rep of the swiss version just with the asian movement...a sort of "lite" version...

anton Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Accutron PR Watch This watch uses the same movement. One day left and it's at $105.00. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info...I know about those watches...but the price they go for 400-500$...it is easier for me to buy a rep (if I find one on the 2nd hand market)... it is already on 160$...

anton Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Or what about this: Hermes Watch You could take advantage of the fact that the seller has misspelled "Hermes" so he may not receive alot of bids. Brutal, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTR Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I personally can't see tearing apart a $3500 Gen to rep something else... even if I only paid $50 for it... of course, re-selling it for closer to the normal price and buying the movement from another source would make at least two people happy and probably leave some extra money in my pocket...

milsub5517 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 the seller is not going to let it go for less than $500...

anton Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 the seller is not going to let it go for less than $500... Then the seller should have put a reserve of at least $500. Let's say it ends up selling for $499.99. Do you think the seller will say, "forget it, i can't send it out since it didn't end up selling for at least $500."?
