What Should I Do With A Swiss Eta 2892-a2 Movement?

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.)
