Bought this gen dial with the hopes of building a franken out of gen and rep parts.
Ideally, I would source the correct movement and case but am open to both rep parts and vintage franken parts. I gather some tudors used eta 2451, which is widely available for cheap (not afraid of servicing the movement myself), and am ok with using this period appropriate low beat movement. Seems to have been a reliable, broadly used movement. But my main worries are the following:
Worries:
W1) preserving dial feet. Looks like the dial feet may work on a 2451 but I’m just eyeballing it.
W2) fitting vintage 2451 and this 28mm dial into raffles 34mm oyster case. Have read around and it seems people have fit the 2451 into aftermarket cases built for 2824, but no explanations as to what modding was done.
Questions:
Q1) Am I getting in over my head as a noob?
Q2) what are some unknowns I should consider?
Q3) any one with experience have some tips, resources to share in making a Frankenstein of this sort?
