Good call. The hour wheel and canon pinion are easy, but that second wheel is a mofo. :/

Any local Watchsmith should be able to do that easily.

Very true. If you're not a watchsmith, it's a mofo. :p

But yeah, if it's a swiss movement and there's nothing rep connected to it then you can probably find someone locally instead of sending it away.

yeah it's Swiss. I'm going to ask if a local uhrmacher will convert it. I still have to wait got the parts to arrive from ofrei. that's going to be a few wks or even a month. but that's German customs. God I miss my good old hometown Seattle.

Good job man, once you get it installed let me know if it winds smoother. Did you get a genuine crown and wso tube. Maybe ask BK to do the install he works fast and is a bit of a perfectionist.

The H CP Mod is an easy job... I mean for People who Service Movements (Watchsmiths)

I have done this soooo many Times... If you guys need CP stuff let me know, I can order these at my Watchpart Dealer.
but Ofrei or Cousins have them too...

True, I've seen videos of it done in about 30 seconds. It took me about 30 minutes to switch out the second wheel. Lol.

Just reading about the h4 conversion. I've managed to find everything else at cousins but I'm struggling with the cannon pinion. The only one I can find is this

I've done a self service enquiry & they say none listed. Is the above the correct one.
