Any chance of a 535 with a proper clone movement?

[Pixlputterman]

I feel like all the other 12 hour GMT's have the proper clone movement so the GMT hand adjusts in 12 hours instead of 24, but my 535 has the 24 hour

Im tempted to buy a 668 to see if the movements swap.........

There have been no announcements regarding an update to this watch. Not sure if A7750-powered movements can swap in the P.9000 superrclone without any modification.

My hope was both being 42mm cases with seemingly identical dial lay outs that it would work....but know knows

Are there any factories here on the forums or just TDs?

I doubt it. Not even all TDs are here all the time due to the effort involved in selling watches. The factories are probably just as swamped with work to even think of reading all the nasty comments from buyers.

I remembered Grimlock was sharing that the a7750 movement won’t fit into a p9000 clone case set.

Ah bummer, well I hope one day they come out with the 535 with the proper clone then....

depends on the intensity of your love towards a 535, could be together with 3 watches =D

vsf 688 for the 42mm case set
+ vsf 320 for the movement + datewheel + hand sets
+ ur existing 535 dial

You are saying that because the assumption is the hands from my 535 wont fit the movement in the 688 correct?

Wonder if a TD/factory will sell just the parts I need

Wondering won't get you anywhere. Doing something about it will.

yup, i am just assuming that A7750 hands are not compatible with a P9000 clone movement. and also, 688 DW are of gold inscriptions against a blue datewheel.

good luck if you are setting out to build it, it will sure be 1 epic build. The biggest joy about our hobby is to hunt down parts, I know because I had a 312 franken build and I feel super-accomplished about it.
as what mysterio put it "Wondering won't get you anywhere. Doing something about it will. "
