New mod for 6497 movements

[marlin2284]

Hi Guys,

I was able to see first hand a gen. movement up close and discovered that the Panerai gear train is pearlized, I have been playing with this for some time now and I think I have perfected it. I will be adding this to my builds from now on, please tell me what you think.


Here are some pictures (please bear in mind the lighting is different on every picture, I will be taking some better picture when the builds are done)

Here is the movement 90% compleste

30% competed stock movement on the left on gear train modification / 90% competed on the right with modified gear train

Gen vs. Project

Three way comparison ETA vs, Asian vs. Project

Some Gen. shots

Thanks for looking and please give me you thoughts, ideas and opinion, they are very important.......

Wow, very impressed. If you were to do this along with the other awesome mods you do to your 127's, where would the price be sitting at?

Sounds and looks like an interesting tidbit to just make it even that more great. Well done this far!

AHX,

I can't answer that because it would be against forum rules, what I can tell you is keep your eye out on the sales section on here. Once Oked by the admin. of coarse.

At this point all I have left is the crapy micrometric screw (its to short) and the barrel (it too is pearled). No rush on the barrel since it is not all the visible, but I am working on the MS. - thanks
