Yes. Doesn't work.

damn, it would have been a nice franken touch.

I don’t really understand what makes it impossible to work.

The two significant differences are the banking pins and inability to adjust end-shake in that area of the movement, unless I missed something.

Its not the banking pins. I used a Yuki balance and it worked fine. I think it has a lot to do with the free balance and pattet. I haven't really continued to play with it. I have a rolex 3135 in parts and real not in the mood to swap the balance and pallet system to see if it will say longer. When I tried it stalled right after starting.

Gen pallet fork works with the rep escape wheel and balance.Maybe with adjustments to the balance staff or lower jewel the gen balance could work..

Keep us informed. There have been a bunch of us trying to get this to work since Yuki came out with his 3135. Good luck and my the watch gods inspire you!!!

If you mean the burgundy/red auto winding wheels, yes. The VR looks just like the real ones.

Can the paint cause troubles ?

 

[occb2]

No I think it ia ceramic coating. You are taking about the auto reversing wheels on the VR right? I don't know what Rolex or VR uses but they are very similar. I cant see it being paint. Now the SH uses paint.
