Well this just arrived today from the watchsmith...
I’m very impressed with the v6 as a franken base. The a2892 is obviously an ideal donor movement as the 2500 is essentially an eta 2892 with additional co-axial bit.
So everything fit perfect.
This has: Gen dial, hands, datewheel, bezel and nato.
Rest is stock v6 lmpo. Crystal, crown and he valve are so good there is no point investing in gen for these parts.
Gen Caseback is on the way, I’ll post an update on whether it fits in a day or two.
The only slight issue in building this is the stiffness of the bezel. It basically won’t turn but it snapped on super firm using the rep retaining spring in the gen bezel assembly. Can’t say I’ve ever used the bezel for timing anything so I suppose I
can live with it.
