Looks awesome bro. Lume match is excellent. I'm assuming you used the hour wheel and canon pinion from a 3155?

Misiekped is so talented, what flawless work wow!

Yes, it’s the 3155 pinion. The second wheel is 3155 but the hour and minute is the 3175 one. It’s the same used in the 3135 to 3185 upgrade

Batman is awesome too, great pieces!

Thanks KJ!! I was lucky to get an ARF case which didn't have glued in crown tube. So it was easy to swap our crown and crown tube and get it properly waterproofed

The Noob insert is best and the movement is the worst. So you have to compromise. You can use the Noob OOTB til it breaks then see about swapping in a 2836 ICHS or a VR3185. If you are careful and lucky the Noob 2824 CHS timebomb won't ever explode. I have 2 or 3 of those movements that are holding up well (and 3 or 4 others than were broken and now repaired).

Where can I buy the ICHS or the VR movement and how much does it cost?

Thanks in advance!
