cwai02 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) I bought a Swiss ETA 2892-A2 movement on ebay. Paid $160 and it is from a Chanel J12. This is the movement shot: Should I use it to mod a J12 or should I use it to build an ultimate Omega SMP? Maybe a FM? Too many options. http://home.xnet.com/~cmaddox/omega_base_movements.html I have the OEM SMP bezel and OEM cal 1120 rotor. But I think it's better to mod a more expensive watch. A genuine SMP is pretty cheap. Suggestions? Edited July 24, 2006 by cwai02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Seems obvious to me... mod a J12! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Seems obvious to me... mod a J12! You could put it in that sweet PO you have, since that's the base movement of the gen. Or, if you don't want to swap for a swiss, I'd put it into a asian powered rep of a watch that uses the 2892. In my collection, this would be going into my ATF dive watch-- the Picot Le Plongeur (If you have one of those, you can probably also get an OEM dial from watchpol or whatever his name is.)
