I am thinking of getting a 219 to part out for the movement. But before i do so (i have never done it before), i would like to know if 219 parts would be of any interest to builders out there?

If you are in the EU: If the price is reasonable I'd buy the rest sans movement. We are talking about the 219 Destro?

Don't you think sourcing just the movement would be easier?

It's for a 217 project. Problem is that I can't find a nice movement with the op words facing the right direction. Am thinking of parting out but I wonder what's the loss to me.

219 movement has the OP lettering the wrong way, should be upside down as per GEN. No REP movement is correct for destro build mate, only Little Hero's ones which cost a lot and not sure if he still has any in stock.

Or you can get a Getat's A6497-2 one and send it to Francisco for adding his decall the correct way for a destro.

Ah I just realised that as well...

BTW, I just need to clarify... I was merely considering the idea of parting out and am not holding to any 219 as of yet...
