Gen Omega parts on reps?

[121traffic]

I only recently got into reps and really kinda focused on Rolex. Now, I have a SMPc and PO Tai Chi GMT on the way. My question is do people sub in gen parts for Omegas like they do Rolex frankens? I have a gen PO 45.5 8500 that I recently did a full service on. I got a bunch of the parts back that that were replaced as part of the full service that are in good to phenomenal shape. Crown, HE escape valve crown, crown tube, hands, etc. Can I throw these on the 43.5 PO? Should I sell them? Is the market value similar to gen Rolex parts?

No one?

There have been a few Omega frankens. They were much more popular in the old day with the old generation Planet Oceans,

The new ones... not so much.... in fact I don't know if these gen parts will fit the 43.5mm VSF one, I haven't seen much threads about it.

You can throw them up for sale and let the market decide but I think it will not be such a hot sale. (contact moderators first and try to feel out an appropiate price for them but I think they will not go for so much)

Yeah thats kinda what I figured...that gen parts aren't nearly in demand, especially since Omega gives you the parts when theyre replaced with a full service, which decreases their scarcity on the 2nd hand market. I don't know if Rolex does that.

I dont have a lot of confidence on movemebt parts, but Im fairly certain stuff like the crown and hands can be mounted on a rep somehow. Be nice to keep them around for nostalgia, if I end up selling the gen (which I'm contemplating). Thank you!
