Recommended Posts

I have been looking at old swiss movements on ebay as you can get a deal sometimes. The problem is I really have no idea what I am looking at. I have a few cheapies from priceangels that I would like to play with. What size movement would replace the 21j in a sub rep? I know this is a noob question be we all have to start somewhere. Any words of wisdom from you pros out there is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

john

Changing from a 21J to something better is more complicated than you anticipate.

 

You'll need to change hands AND the movement holder for starters. Really not worth it...

+1 I have tried to swap a couple of 21j to Asian clones. Not much success.
