That movement is a beauty. What did the build cost in the end?

Great find actually - however, I'm not sure that one would work...?!
Isn't it a Calibre 3126, if memory serves me correctly?

The first offshore generation were using the 2226 caliber, AP change it by the 3126 in 2003 if my memory is good. The 2226 caliber is the one done by JLC in cooperation with AP, it is the caliber 889/2. You could see it in the AP Montoya as there is an open back on it.
the 3126 and 2226 have the same size, what change is the power reserve, number of jewels, architecture are quite the same. It is an evolution of the 2226 built by AP after the cooperation between the two brands stopped.

Ahhh great info - thanks!
So, in the building of a Franken Roo, a person could definitely use that 2226 he posted? Wow, very cool to have a Gen movement (just like you have done!!)

correct it is very hard to find only the movement, for mine I had to buy a complete gen AP, more expensive than buy only the movement, if someone want to built a genestein AP it is a good opportunity, or a member who have a franken with LWO and want to upgrade.
