Hi,

Just a quick and possibly stupid question,

Is it possible to adapt a rep case to mount the movement like genuine watch. So instead of having those annoying little tabs to have a slot that you drop movement into and turn into place and the loosen the 2 securing screws to secure it?.

I am going to using a genuine 3135 mainplate with gen balance, barrel, mainspring, auto device and all train wheels so I wanted to see if this would be a possibility as I may as well go the extra mile after what I have spent on parts for this build.

Any input appreciated and if I'm being a retard please tell me lol

My case is a 3131, not sure if there's much difference, would be great to not have to use those fiddly little tabs though
