Hi all,
Just thought I'd share some quick photos of a modded 029 project. I received this 029 from M and immediately swapped a lello DW into the 2836. Of course a 2893 or 2892 would have been nice but not worth the crazy money that people are asking in resale, the 2836 is a superb movement. Winds smoothly and date clicks promptly at midnight as it should. The lello DW makes all the difference, would love to have a bigger cyclops but don't know if I'll go through the trouble especially when this sapphire so well AR treated already. May also superlume at some point, or buy the redone dial and hands from DSN, who has been my go to person lately for modding parts.
Here it is:
no comments about the tablecloth I have fashioned into a shirt please
l like this on the HK tan burgundy strap
some dial detail
I have now three examples of this watch, but I think the swiss eta movement is worth the price differential given the ability to upgrade the DW, the clicking GMT functionality, the quick flip date, the AR, and the better dial, case, crown and crownguard.
