I think the wisdom of board members is needed on this one.
At moment I have 092 and a 177 Ti, with the possible 240h Ti on the horizon. The problem is I'm not into the 092, it's a chunky, heavy and doesn't feel right on my wrist. The 092 has had some respectable mods, fixed CG, new case wit the tight bezel (no sliding at all!) and relumed hands. When the movement took a crap, it was replaced again with an Asian movement with white datewheel, not black. The new movement uses the better beat-rate of 28.8 has been adjusted, the canon pin is now correct, the case sealed and silconed, but has the wrong date wheel. I don't want to put more $$$ into it, I want to sell and get the 240, but I afraid that the white date-wheel will hinder my sale. On the other hand my buddy will buy my 177 now, but I'd rather sell the 092 and keep my Ti. Would the modded 092 be a good Pam for a noob and how much should I sell it for?

So the replacement movt is the improved A7750?
Cosmetic flaws?
I'd lose the one that doesn't float yer boat and get what you want.
Life's too short.
Besides, do you really want to see your pal sporting your favored ex-watch while you still posess an admittedly uncomfortable one? Or would you rather get up in the morning and decide which of the watches you love to wear that day?
Who knows, at the right price you might find someone looking to tinker.

If you still have the movement that took a dump from your 092 with the more correct date wheel... sell em as a package...

your modded 092 and the old, dead movement with more correct datewheel... should sell pretty quickly... the datewheel swap is pretty strait forward to someone who's the least bit comfortable inside the guts of a watch.

And what part of OH you in?... Southwest OH here... perhaps a Cincy/Dayton/Indy GTG is in order!

I'm in Columbus aka C-Bus. I'll stick some photos of my 092, nice watch but I'm a Ti man. I figure with the mods and such I'll start the sale off at $250 with a deployment clasp and see where that gets me.
