Mike - this one need the same see through case back from Germany to complete the build. You can’t just case this beautiful movement up and not see it.

Just kidding - this will be an ideal build for me as well, until I can get my hands on one. Awesome build!

Thank you for your answer! What about installing a gen pallet fork and escape whell on this movement? In theory, these together with the gen balance and bridge should improve accuracy and precision.

You can install as they fit, I tried this in another 3235 and didn’t bring and improvements
I prefer gen balance and time the watch with microstella screws then stock balance with lose levers going left to right anytime you do sudden movements with your hand

So, with gen balance and bridge this movement can achieve COSC specs?

Can do without, but there is nothing to stop those adjustments lever to stop moving as any clone movement.

Superb, and great pics. The gen balance wheel is a must in itself, beautiful part.

Does the automatic module really makes a difference in building PR when the rest of the movement is rep?
