This is the movemet BUT in the RB the decoration is cotes d geneve insted of perlage, but this is the movement

[Francisco]

Thanks Fido!

However, both movementes..your picture and Barrichelo, as you point, are not exactly the same:

I find some differences:

1.- the cotes of the plate.

2.- the color of the central gear.

3.- one hole close to the date window

also francinso

can make matte the color of the subdial

with spray????

[Francisco]

Probably they are different versions... a hole is missing...

[kenneth2]

great movement photos but they need to look like the RB with a central silver gear

i guess the RBii has a unique movement

i think francisco needs more to work with in terms of a photo

After checking lots of pics of the Gen I can say this are the details that can be look from the dial (according to myself, jejeje) and should be put on the plate

I pointed in the pic, here the silver central gear is not show but I

Fido, I see now what you mean.

And the last picture you have posted is not a picture, it seems a drawing....

can anybody find a better picture?

yes...please... with this picture the mod is really simple...

[ranisavage]

The decal mod seems simple however it will miss one thing and the way light will play off those gears and screw edges. I think someone mentioned drilling holes in the top plate and glueing fake gears around the posts and screw heads to the main plate will give it a more gen like appearance. We won't get the auxiliary gears in there but at least it will have some sort of metal pieces that will shine through the dial and reflect light when someone moves the watch around.

So basically re brush the top plate with cotes de geneves and drill through the right spots and place screw heads there and a bored out gear around the centre post. More expensive and time consuming than the decal mod. I want to start learning how to repair and service movements i like tinkering i just need to get some bunk movements to try and overhaul and stuff to learn on.

Is there any way of getting a couple top plates from the factory?
