Would a watchmaker be able to put a HAQ (High Accuracy Quartz) movement or one of the new sweeping second hand quartz's or any quartz movement for that matter into a Noob V8 for example?
In theory it's possible, but you need different hands with the proper diameter posts, correct stem, a custom movement holder, clip the feet of the dial....shall I continue? after all this time money and work you end up with a watch that has one of the biggest tells out there it's a replica.. a ticking movement. You could try and cannibalize a Bulova precisionist to get the sweeping motion of the second hand. This has been discussed before, I've never seen anyone's project coming to fruitation. personally I'd like to see this successfully done as it would be nice to have a piece which doesn't have to be wound.
715Li / 4.6 mm 11½''', 25.60 mm.You have the movement, hands and probably the stem covered. You need a donor watch and a modder to offer input on how to hold the movement in place. Any idea the size of the movement?

Isn't the movement holder the easiest part for factories to fabricate? It's just a piece of cheap plastic that keeps it in place, like those you find on $5 quartz watches. Or am I missing something?
