Gen B01 in rep Chronomat?

[elconquistador]

I came across a NOS B01 movement. Would love to put it in my Chronomat 01 and fix the sunken date.
I have no idea if the movement fits, date lines up or if the hands fit.
Has anyone tried?

I have not tried. But reps use a modded A7750, wich have different distances from the subdials to the center, so I am 99% sure it won't fit.

That is what I was afraid of. I wonder if I could fine a gen dial.
It is the same diameter as a 7750, not sure about hand size.

If you are looking to go down the route of a franken project I would suggest also swapping in a Gen dial. They can be found for reasonable prices and make difference in the end product.

Well that sucks. I didn't pay that much for it and it is unused. I guess I can put it on ebay. I can't find one to even know what to ask. This was a vendor display unit, in lucite, unused, complete and functional. Or I can just stare at it.
