How to build a gen with a rep base donor, AP 42 CP

[Micasol]

Here is the gen parts that was changed, I have for sale a complete gen handset and a gen date wheel, a rep black inner bezel modded to fit the gen dial, rep screws cut to gen size, now the pics of the gen parts I instal on the CP when the movement was changed.

Wait, that's not a gen dw with new font right?

 

[Micasol]

Yes it is

 

[jamztio]

Yes it is

Now you got my attention. Lol
But don't install it mate. It won't match with the CP. Unless you don't care about that. Haha.
It'd be perfect if Edge can get his hands on one so that he can make a 7750 dw out of it. We can have a perfect dw on every I series rep ROO.

Question for Mica or Edge (and anyone else out there on this great forum).....
I plan to put an LWO into my rep FC Grand Prix but am not sure about:
1. Pusher and crown positions - is it necessary to realign them?
2. How far off centre will the date appear in the rep dial date window?
3. Is case reprofiling necessary?
Thanks guys....

hi J,

you don't need to realign the crown and pushers, just have to built a inner ring for the movement which are the connect link with pushers, you have here the thread of my franken GP, many pics who could give you the informations needed

not need to re profiling the case too, it is most easier than building a franken 42, the date position was fine for me, not centered a little on the left of the date window.
your GP watch will grow on another level, good luck, and take your time, read all the thread of my build, all long there is many pics who could help you building the inner ring, at least you could ask to domi for one.

Perfect thanks M
That is pretty much as I hoped.
The GP host makes life much easier than a 42 case
It's going to the Meister today!

I decide to give the CP revise the movement, was working at 234 degrees and loosing 5 seconds by day, not bad but far away has he had to be, so result after the revision

without the complication plate, it working at 330 degrees,
with the complication plate who was revised too, 272 degrees the first 15 minutes, and now 300 degrees, it is normal due to the effects of the new oil, but after one year of wearing will work between 280 to 290 degrees.
regalute to standard COSC, +3 seconds by day
frequency 21600,
power reserve normally between 52 to 56 hours.
