alpinab7 0 Posted June 4, 2011 OK total Newbie here so please bear with me...Do many here go after a particular watch, just for eg: A modded noobfactory, 1:1 example, a BK/Wm9 mod, etc/etc then go and search for a particular movement to replace the one that came with. For eg; $4/500 on cosmetically good rep + $ 4/500 on good movement then results in one damn good watch?? Thanks for you're time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jameo210369 0 Posted June 4, 2011 Not all the guys mod there watches alpinab7, most of use buy he watch and except the quality that we get. If you are more adventurous you can mod your watch or get some of the guys to mod them for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted June 5, 2011 $500 for good movement? Where did you get such a crazy prices? Swiss ETA 2826/2824 cost max. $140, and Swiss Valjoux 7750 - around $380. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
